"Titanic" is More Interesting than the Makers of Titanic

Summary: the first story is news. The second is dull. That's it.


A ship is tipping, someone got a prize.
And that’s the news. I much prefer the ship,
For panic on a boat that’s busy flipping
Is a better story than the highs
Of long and storied film careers. The brake
Was not applied, and gravity is off
And pulling to the left, and now a lofty
Pedestal is one whereon the wake
Of all the sinking ship yet hasn’t hit.
A tragedy, but quite ironic, too -
The captain all his passengers and crew
Abandons, while the dancers, in a bit
Of heroism, rescue all the rest.
It’s far more than an actor can attest.
