Meter and rhymes just like old t****

Like a pineapple covered with frost,
I know precisely what you might look like
but in all my life I’ve seen you not.

When Columbus sailed the ocean blue
the natives could not see his mighty ships.
Their eyes did reach the sails, masts & crew;

in seconds all at once in fury
each Indian mind ignored what his eyes saw––
nothing but sea no need to worry.

Ignorant! How dumb! Those Indian men
must have been blind not to see the parked fleet,
or what alien truth their eyes had sent!

They could not have been much less prepared,
but I have been waiting my life for you,
for frozen fruit, for a new world shared.
