A Little Ditty for Columbus Day
My father used to sing this ditty for us:
"Columbus sailed the ocean blue
in 14 hundred 92
He sailed as far as Chicopee Falls
...and there he left his overalls"
When my teacher asked where Columbus landed,
I knew exactly where! Out of my seat, hand waving in the air... "Oooo ooo me! I know!"
"Yes, Liz..."
"Chicopee Falls!!" ...and I argued the accuracy, VEHEMENTLY.
At least Chicopee was a genuine Native Algonquin word, meaning violent waters.
Thanks Dad!
