anapestic dimeter- exploration theme

Hi everyone, this is one of my new poems that follows the Canadian exploration theme the best I could. It follows the anapestic dimeter form with the rhyme scheme AABB (rhyming couplets.) The lines in between just helped me out when I was writing the poem to follow the anapes meter.


Mister chris colombus
Owned a spec ial compass
Helped him choose where to sail
Did not think he would fail
Said goobye to england
With a wave of his hand
Took a year to be free
And to find a country
