Christopher Columbus, discovered America, thinking it was the outer islands of Japan or China! He made four voyages across the briny ocean is search of Japan or China mainland. He died, still being convinced that he had found a short-cut to Asia!

So in commemoration of this historic event, I give you a song, titled "I had a Notion!", sung to the tune of "I'm looking over a four leaf clover"!


I had a notion, to cross an ocean, that I never crossed before.
Felt for certain Asia I'd reach, now something tells me, I hit the wrong beach.
Silks ain't sold here, there is no gold here, just famine and disease galore.
Why did I do it, I really blew it, when I reached the New World shore!
