Pasco DaMama

In the 15th century, there was this famous man,
if anyone could find things, this man can,
he was of Portuguese bloodlines, whose father was a knight,
raised around royalty, his life was no plight,
yes Vasco DaGama an explorer extraordinaire,
his voyages to Africa made everyone aware,
yes, he was well respected, admired by all,
but there was this constant rumor, echoing the hall,
he had a 3rd cousin, on his mothers side,
when Vasco was questioned, his existance denied,
the rumor has it, that this guy was a goon,
some even referred to him, as the royal bafoon,
he could not find his own ass, with either hand,
much less an island, in an ocean so grand,
it was said he would pretend, to be a Captain of Order,
but wasn't allowed, to take a boat near the water,
yes Pasco DaMama was an insult to his nation,
his family saved up, and sent him on vacation,
they only gave him money, to get one way,
they say he never returned, they never saw him again,
and from that day forward, Vasco had a grin.
