A Maritime Premonition
There is something not right in what I see.
There are not enough lifeboats in case of emergency.
I had a dream last night where we were lost at sea.
Mass negligence resulted in many a casualty.
The crew alerted a nearby ship with flares in the sky.
The other ship ignored us and kept sailing on by.
What they have said is an inappropriate quip.
There is no such thing as an unsinkable ship.
Yes, I know it is the pride of the White Star Line.
However, what they have stated sounds asinine.
Even though we must be in New York by next week,
another cruise liner is what we must seek.
