Sense Sonnet - Steamer

District of ?

Washington, D.C. - D.C. named
District of Columbia,
For Christopher Columbus famed,
Though never in the area.
Personified as female in
The Revolutionary War,
For a new freedom to begin
In stars and stripes forevermore.
Columbia now's rarely heard
About the being of D.C.
There's a more appropriate word
To describe just how things now be.

In Washington, the D.C. tiz
District of Corruptia biz.
