You Did It, You Rascal

You Did It, You Rascal By Elton Camp The captain was asleep in his bunk When the berg was hit with a thunk His trust was put in the wrong place Now, it’s he who the music must face Though he didn’t know a thing about it There are those who loudly doubt it “Although another was at the wheel She knew very well how you’d feel.” “That an iceberg the ship to strike Is the very thing you would like.” It put the captain’s reputation on the line Why would he think such would be fine? Company president he wanted to become Would he approve a thing that dumb? He spends too much time at the table But to call him stupid, who is able?

Thanks. I feel for Governor Christie if he really was unaware of the actions of his subordinates which seems likely to me.
