Is It Too Late To Enlist?

I wished to be a poet. I thought that would be fine

But I had to be a sailor; I could only write two lines

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

Oh my English class was easy, that much is very true,

But I’d only write twelve syllables and not a whole haiku

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

But if you have no talent for stayin’ ‘round a while

They told me that the Navy would snap me up and smile

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

Turns out in the Navy there’s a whole entire job

For writing two line songs to sing while cleanin’ with a swab

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

My captain has a button that can nuke our enemies

But I can make him tap his foot across the seven seas

And a gee and a hey and doodle dawdle yah!

And a gee!

And a hey!

And doodle

Dawdle

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

In The Distance, China Just Laughs

There once was an admiral poll

That asked “how to meet our recruiting goal”

Options one was “Raise pay”

Option two was “Be gay”

And the navy said “‘Kay queens, let’s roll”

Nautical Issues

“I don’t know how to say this…”

Jason said to Captain Tull,

“But the otorhinolaryngologist

“Spilled Worcestershire sauce in the forecastle.”
