Subject: RE: Challenge: Capt. Schettino Limerick
Yes, it's not nice to kick a man when he's down. It's also not nice to leave several hundred passengers fending for themselves on a capsizing ship. So, do two "not nices" justify such limericks? You be the judge:

"Vada A Bordo, Cazzo!"
The Coastguard yelled at this nautical parvenu,
But so dark was the night,
That Schettino took fright,
And to shore he did passe-partout.
