The lines, “They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said ‘The world was round’,” highlight how even someone as revered as Columbus faced adversity and mockery. Similarly, inventors like Edison and the Wright brothers faced laughter and disbelief before revolutionizing their respective fields.
Oh, I wasn't a bit concerned. For from hist'ry I had learned. How many, many times the worm had turned. They all laughed at Christopher Columbus when he said the world was round. They all laughed when Edison recorded sound. They all laughed at Wilbur and his brother when they said that man could fly.
