Michelle Smith Poet Couplet

A Night To Remember

For these ladies, coffee served only to bring a frown
For alas, they had just seen their husbands drown :(



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Based on Ch.10: "Go Away, We Have Just Seen Our Husbands Drown" 
in A Night to Remember: The Classic Account of the Final Hours of the Titanic by Walter Lord, 1955 (re-print 2005)
