Crew Quarters...
(When I was a-serving of their majesties Brown and Root)
Rows of racks under aquarium lights
And scattered paperbacks: Louis L’Amour
Bravo Company battlefield yarns, (love)-books
About blonde hot rod babes with really big (pretties)
The crew, all older than I, were better books:
Mechanics, enginemen, crane operators
Welders, riggers, radiomen, divers
Draftsmen for the “as built” modifications
The cook was a nervous man from New Jersey
He looked over his shoulder and dropped things
