The Race to the Bottom
November 30, 2023
Constructed in a mere thirty days
Meant to prow the endless waves
My wels are weak and my rivets are loose
I don’t know expect I shall go further than an old goose
But unconcerned and unpersuaded
My master christened me unabated
The bottle broke and I was off to float
Yet, after five minutes I did not float no longer
For as my haul touched the water, my rivets broke and I was torn asunder

I wrote this about the Liberty ships of World War II and how many were constructed as quickly as possible and many fell apart quickly soon after launch becauise they were made hastily.
