Of course I'm right. And I'm right because I know a man who helped design and build the Titanic.
He oiled and greased the slide rules every morning and dusted the abacuses with powdered graphite
He also carried out the duties of thr Drawing Office Nipper. He ran messages for the Bowler Hats and went to the shop aka The Shap for filled sodas and News Letters.

When I was a lad I served a term
As office boy to an Shipbuilding firm.
I cleaned the windows and I swept the floor,
And I polished up the handle of the big front door.
I polished up that handle so carefully
That now I am the Ruler of the Merchant Navy!
