COLUMBUS HAD A WORD FOR TT Reprint from another October) Centuries ago there lived man Who thought of other things, Than shoes and ships and sealing wax And cabbages and kings.

The earth was round, oh muchas, si! And he sailed out toward the west Discovered America in record time, And-well you know all the rest
