Eye to Eye CC #276

The US Navy always employs many to make up a crew

There are Machinists and Radarmen and a cook or two

The Radiomen have the secrets, nobody knows what they do

Never forget the Boatswain mate who can turn the air blue.

 

Some climb the rigging, even in these modern days

Many work below decks and that is where they stay

Others spend time dancing with mops that swing and sway

All dream of shore leave when they can spend their pay

 

There are Ensigns, both men and flags that fly

Each demands a salute any time you pass by

Above them all is the Captain,  he’s the top guy

He gives the orders and goes from “Aye to Aye.”
