Though all is black and white, the contrast low
It's not for artfulness one watches this
A diary on film of how we know
For certain now, 'twas Incas first to kiss
The many islands. Nothing's unexplained.
And while the style is hokey to us now
(A narrator with all the facts, restrained
And clipped, with dotted lines on maps), it's how
They did all this at all that makes this piece
A triumph. And while all is shown in greys
A parrot steals the show! Sure, without cease
Its viewers at the time spent all their days
In wishing they could do what these six men
Had done, despite the troubles now and then.
