According to Joe

Joe Gedan

Sky hasn't fallen on Superferry

The Superferry we now can see

Has weathered the challenge of idiocracy

The ship has not injured a single whale

The environment survives when she sets sail

Those professional victims should find a new calling

Do they not notice the sky is not falling?

Daily headlines inspire the poet in Joe Gedan, a retired U.S. magistrate judge who lives in Honolulu. His observations on the news appear on Sundays and Fridays.
