№ 690: “Climate Change” (14 April 1912)

ALLATSEA (September 24)











Lest you, our passengers, be caught unawares,
please be advised in re: the deck chairs
which our experienced crew are re-arranging,
although and albeit the weather is changing
as we near Greenland, that marvel of nature,
and whilst it is calving season for glaciers,
we've naught to fear from these mountains of ice
which our ship can get round in less than a trice.
Seeing icebergs so close should prove a thrill.
And, oh yes, we've cancelled today's life boat drill.
