All Hail Columbus


I'll grant you it's clever,
But by the sixth floor
My legs aren't happy,
And Columbus isn't impressed.

Only in New York, in the middle of Columbus Circle,
The home of “fogidaboit”,
Would this loony idea take shape.
A six story walk-up to Columbus's living room.

The statue outdates me,
Although Its pedestal rises five stories
It remains unnoticed by most park visitors, street vendors
And costumed carriage drivers selling horse-drawn rides.

Columbus will remain in his apartment for three weeks.
It is a very upscale location,
Reached by a magic staircase,
With no visible support.
