NOT EVEN GOD

 

Their arrogant confidence

Was unshrinkable

In fact they considered it

To be unthinkable

For the RMS Titanic

Not to be unsinkable

RMS TITANIC

 

The finest ship of the White Star Line,

Titanic majestically sailed the brine

A floating palace of opulence

A thing of beauty and elegance

 

But beauty is but a fragile veneer

And conceals a truth more austere

Into the depths Europe’s poor, are thrust

Travelling in steerage like human ballast

 

The iceberg cut her stem to stern

But at first no one showed concern

Except the poor below the waterline

Where it quickly filled with Icy brine

 

“Only God himself could sink her”

It was claimed by an unknown author

The Titanic promoted by J. Bruce Ismay

Quickly sank to his utter dismay

ARE YOU WEARING AN EASTER SWEATER?

 

Are you wearing an Easter sweater?

It’s one of the hand knitted ones

Though I’m not a fan of novelty knitwear

I can ogle your hot crossed buns

LET’S GET THIS STRAIGHT ONCE AND FOR ALL # 1

 

Let’s get this straight once and for all

Easter does not commemorate the time

When Jesus hid eggs in the gardens

Of Gethsemane for the disciples to find

ARE YOU WEARING AN EASTER JUMPER?

 

Are you wearing an Easter Jumper?

Well, its contents look rather bumper

But you really don’t need a bigger size

It fits them perfectly if I may apprise

THE BEST EASTER ACTOR OF ALL TIME # 1

 

The best Easter actor of all time

Is something of an acting hero

And there can only be one winner

And that would be Rabbit De Niro

I FORGOT TO GET BUNS ON THE SHOPPING

 

I forgot to get buns on the shopping

And when I got home my wife had a fit

But she soon calmed down as there’s

No need to get Hot and Cross about it
