Make Way For the Mighty Titanic

Make Way for the Mighty Titanic By Elton Camp Of its age, it was the crowning achievement Never would it come to experience bereavement The powerful ship that even God couldn’t sink Commenced its voyage across the huge drink For the rich it provided luxury beyond compare In steerage, the lower classes had their share Its Captain Smith was a great man of the sea Not a single one was more respected than he The crew catered to first classes every need Provided the finest food, music and great speed From perils of ocean travel Titanic wasn’t exempt To warnings from other ships she had contempt Wham! Into an iceberg with the side of the ship From their mooring many rivets then did rip Inrushing water carried the enormous ship down Many of the passengers and crew had to drown A cataclysmic event from a hundred years ago To unbridled confidence struck a fatal blow
