Computer why are you not turning on?
Now you’re on. – meh
Opening programs before I log in.
Sometimes it is repeated more than once.
An interval of 15 minutes or more..
Finally everything is running .
It is a miracle.
The phone is older than the movie ‘Ghost.’
Surprisingly it has no dust (haha)
No to boast
Oh not to boast
Each one is in a island elbow to elbow like Hawaii
A chain it is
Marx would laugh
Oh yes he would
Every day we come to our island
Our little isola di cubicle – meh
Isola di cubicle!

This was a commercial maritime catastrophe.
Could it happen in the twenty-first century?
Such a disaster happened off the coast of Italy.
A ship ran into the shoals of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
It happened in 2012 on the thirteenth of January.
The Costa Concordia was a modern cruise liner.
For a luxury ship, there were none that were finer.
The incident took place near the Isola del Giglio.
It was the worst event since the Achille Lauro.
More than four thousand people experienced the fiasco.
As the crippled ship rested on its starboard side,
a few passengers and crew were trapped inside.
Nearly everybody was saved, but at least twelve were lost.
Damages are estimated to be at a high cost.
How could this happen in this modern day?
We will hear a lot more, so don’t go away.
Thanks to wikipedia.org online encyclopedia and BBC News for information I obtained to write this poem.
