Error Upon Error

Columbus is blamed for it all
Thinking that India is where he landed
The people, Indians he did call
Error to another added
As still it has been so
Since centuries ago.

What if to Mars I would then sail
To look for life, or for other simians
But Venus landing did prevail
And creatures there I called 'Martians'
Would it remain as so
Even after we know?
