Poem: "The Engineer" by Michael Naughton

"Malkinson's Iceberg" by Sean Bw Parker

The Engineer

There was an engineer

Who had a good idea

That wasn’t very clear

It nearly cost him dear

Many others got on-board

For reasons untoward

Who might best have been ignored

But he wasn’t so self-assured

Then he had a true belief

That the people needing relief

Might be better rescued from their grief

If he was no longer seen as Chief

It was hard to walk away

And even to this day

He struggles not to have his say

To stay out of the affray

But it’s really for the best

It’s now gotten off his chest

It’s now over to the rest

It’s time for them to pass the test
