Titanic

Titanic
Last supper
RMS Titanic
15 April 1912
Tip of an iceberg
Some 2,224 aboard
More than 1,500
Perished in North Atlantic
Maiden voyage
Despite the risks
Full steam ahead
Bound for New York
A matter of class
How they dined that night
Black tie and bling
First class
Traveling posh
Hors-d’œuvre variés
Oysters as starters
Consomme Olga
Then entrees
Lamb mint sauce
Roast duckling
Sirloin of beef
Roast squab and cress
Cold asparagus
Pâté de foie gras
Fine wine and champagne
Peaches in chartreuse jelly
Second class
That fateful night
Many soon dead
Less of a spread
Baked haddock
Roast turkey
Curried chicken
Spring lamb
American ice cream
Sundry other things
With full bellies
Strolling the deck
Cold frosty fog
Making merry
Gruel and grog
For the crew
Many sank that night
Food for the fish
With a certain
Noblesse oblige
The sea played
No favorites
Rich and poor
Dead or alive
Those who survived
That terrible night
