We all know the story of

how the eight members of

Wallace Hartley’s band

continued playing even

as the Titanic was sinking.

But sometimes I wonder,

what of the other service

staff?

ii.

For instance,

What was the crepe guy doing?

Was he making crepes?

Or, was he making a raft

made of crepes?

iii.

I think too of the ship’s

scarf juggler.

Did he continue juggling scarves?

And did the Titanic even have a

scarf juggler?

I have no idea.

I just assume, yes.

iv.

Finally,

what of the legend of the

ship’s masseur?

Some claim, that during

the ship’s final moments

the masseur could be seen

frantically giving

deep tissue leg massages,

though to himself.

v.

“Legs don’t fail me now!”

He was last heard to say.
