I just think the concept of the image the navy tries to portray is funny. Being enlisted myself, I know that many people on the boat were offered the "ENLIST or GO TO JAIL" option which is still actively used today. Many people join the navy because they do not want to be a failure. I consider being in the navy being a failure.

Naval Image

flat out we are about

to tell you the route

we present

and what we are about

we are the most bestest

or even better

then what we really are

from a cow is a cheese

not called chedder

yes we are yellow

and we are a submarine

a torpedo is not needed to kill

innocent lives

or innocent dreams

 

Poems of depressing frustration
