Love your humor! As far as the food goes good question just what did they eat back then on those long voyages, Lots of grains and limes, oh course that is where the expression limeys came from(not sure about the spelling of the word) And also beans pew so between the beans no showers and all the sweat--yuk And the drinking wow! I Guess you got me going with that poem--lol Cheers!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I was an adult before I learned that Columbus made five trips to the New World and died in disgrace in prison!.
Your poem is a light-hearted portrayal of a serious subject!.
