Nobody knows how
to safely praise the Titanic;
a feat to be measured in two parts.
The first somewhat shorter
than the second,
the second, reckoned,
to be longer than the first.
How can this task be done?
I ask you this,
because I know that you have knowledge,
and brains,
know the difference between locomotives and trains,
and can count from ten to one,
backwards.
But, how can it be done?
I ask you this,
as I have asked you before,
is there any way
that we can possibly praise the Titanic
from the depths of our hearts?
