It's intriguing to think
Of what happened to sink
A ship the size of Titanic;
To be crashed by a rock
Must have been quite a shock
And the people must have gone manic.
Just a quiet old thing -
How on earth could it bring
Such grandeur to such great destruction?
The jewel of the seas
Down on its metal knees
Through ignorance of one small instruction:
"Don't taunt the unknown
For it flies and has flown
To the seat of man's unmanly pride;
And the smallest of stones
Will break folly's bones
And the past won't forget what you tried."
