The Unsinkable Titanic

'Twas claimed Titanic was unsinkable. To think otherwise was unthinkable! Alas, she met her fate, Because she swerved too late! Tangling with ice cubes proved it sinkable! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired

Enjoyed this limerick, Robert. Shows that too much self-praise can burst our bubble! Now we are looking forward to see the fate of Titanic II....regards // paul

... and they didn't even pack the proper amount of lifeboats! A very frank limerick. A cautionary tale against being too prideful.

Hi Bob H., awesome limerick, however, it was a tragic when the unsinkable titanic sunk. The irony of one's word. Love LINDA
