This limerick plays with the idea that expertise isn’t always the key to success. After all, the ark was built by an amateur, and yet it survived, while the Titanic—crafted by professionals—met its doom. With a humorous twist, it reminds us not to despair at being an amateur, as even the experts can falter in the face of fate. The lesson? Sometimes it’s the passion and drive, not the credentials, that makes all the difference!

Don’t despair that you’re not pro at all,

An amateur's still bound to stand tall.

The Ark, it was made,

By a novice, yet stayed—

While pros made the Titanic’s fall!
