Just give me my sandwich and stop being a prick

  In fourteen hundred ninety-two
  Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
  
  He had three ships and left from Spain;
  He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.
  
  He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
  He used the stars to find his way.
  
  A compass also helped him know
  How to find the way to go.
  
  Ninety sailors were on board;
  Some men worked while others snored.
  
  Then the workers went to sleep;
  And others watched the ocean deep.
  
  Day after day they looked for land;
  They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.
  
  October 12 their dream came true,
  You never saw a happier crew!
  
  “Indians!  Indians!”  Columbus cried;
  His heart was filled with joyful pride.
  
  But “India” the land was not;
  It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.
  
  The Arakawa natives were very nice;
  They gave the sailors food and spice.
  
  And then Columbus killed 90% of them with smallpox.
