The Sea

[nounofme]

Oh my God

I felt the spray of ocean on my face

a sea bird dead on deck

I rocked with waves

sea legs

with a clean shirt

listening at parade rest

a thousand miles from my mind

my duty for the day

and when we were released at sea

to take up orders

I relented to another day as a sailor

to do as I was told to do

in a small way

to keep our country safe

but in a bigger way

to make it to shore

to a beautiful whore

and cold beer

That is the life of a sailor
