Explorer Poems: Henry Hudson

Henry Hudson an English man who heard one day
"We need an ice free way to china, will any one proceed?"
Dear old Henry thought "I can find a way!"
He set off in 1607
With his son and a crew of eleven
However he did not find china he had found a Bay
And made friends with the red men
Until one day
BANG!
One of his crew had killed an Indian
Causing much trouble and strife
Making poor Hudson have a hard life 
Up the river he explored
But his men were cold and weary and began to abhor
They set poor Henry seven others and his son
Afloat in a boat 
Never heard or seen again
This is the death of Henry Hudson, 
and his men.
