Bigger Boats Have Realer People

Alackaday, and life's a bitch:
A tycoon's lost at sea,
Although he was so very rich
And not a refugee.

He sank with his expensive toys
In an unscheduled storm,
Despite his work among those boys
Who've helped the globe to warm.

Some fair few more will sink and drown
In smaller boats this summer;
But all too poor, and far too brown,
To grieve Lord Selwyn Gummer.
