APA209.pdf:51:And took one last look at the Tazewell, the scow, APA209.pdf:51:And very step of the way he ranted and bragged. APA209.pdf:51:And with one mighty toss, he flung him into the brig. APA209.pdf:51:At night after taps when all was still, APA209.pdf:51:Back to the ship our friend he did drag, APA209.pdf:51:But what the heck, wouldn't you have been too? APA209.pdf:51:By the scruff of the neck, old "Shotgun†he did grab, APA209.pdf:51:Coming down the ladder, into the cat’s ribs he did dig, APA209.pdf:51:For at last he was a free cat now. APA209.pdf:51:For days without end he walked to and fro; APA209.pdf:51:For the moral of the story is never go AWOL. APA209.pdf:51:He hit the pier and let out a meow, APA209.pdf:51:He stayed in the shadows and well out of sight, APA209.pdf:51:He was foot-sore and blue. APA209.pdf:51:His poor tired body with sleep he tried to fill, APA209.pdf:51:His slumber was disturbed by a dream so uncontrolled, APA209.pdf:51:It was the voice of the man who won undying fame; APA209.pdf:51:Or else might have awakened the OOD, APA209.pdf:51:Quietly down the gangway in the dead of night; APA209.pdf:51:That it sounded like a thousand stampeding steers. APA209.pdf:51:That please, if there are any ladies present, it cannot be told. APA209.pdf:51:The dream I’ll now tell, so it may serve you well, APA209.pdf:51:The dream it would seem began like this: APA209.pdf:51:To stop for a snoozer at this time he deemed best, APA209.pdf:51:Well! Where else could he go? APA209.pdf:51:When out of the night, called a voice so loud and near, APA209.pdf:51:Who coined the phrase, "what is your name?†APA209.pdf:51:With the dawn’s golden hue, APA209.pdf:52:"A fakir! A fibber! Now cat you can’t fool me APA209.pdf:52:"A likely story†he answered with a bellow, APA209.pdf:52:"OH! Spare me Captain! Spare me! APA209.pdf:52:"Oh, to the commissary for some catnip, sir, APA209.pdf:52:"Where were you on the night of the 15th my little one?†APA209.pdf:52:A fate that’s worse than death, APA209.pdf:52:And by now his hair had turned white as snow. APA209.pdf:52:And eternally it would seem by the brig door he stood. APA209.pdf:52:And it is, that you take your meals in the ship’s galley.†APA209.pdf:52:And there would be the guard, fast asleep. APA209.pdf:52:At last the day came when to trial he must go, APA209.pdf:52:But I have never seen catnip with ears and a tail on it before. APA209.pdf:52:But Morpheus somehow, his grip would elude, APA209.pdf:52:But the sentence of this court must stand, APA209.pdf:52:Despite my forty years at sea. APA209.pdf:52:For never more will you romp in rain or leave your tracks in snow. APA209.pdf:52:For that had never been known to get anyone out of jail. APA209.pdf:52:For the chow that they purvey down there APA209.pdf:52:He worried and fretted, but to no avail. APA209.pdf:52:I have traveled all these years and more, APA209.pdf:52:It was maddening to him, for through the bars he would peep, APA209.pdf:52:Smells like a polecat’s breath.†APA209.pdf:52:That would have made a bass horn sound like a one string cello. APA209.pdf:52:The findings of this court, "I say,†are most severe I know, APA209.pdf:52:The sentence it would seem was most unfair and mean, APA209.pdf:52:The stage was set, the trial had begun, APA209.pdf:52:When on my way back I was chased by a yellow cur.†APA209.pdf:52:When suddenly the Skipper said; APA209.pdf:52:Your playmates will miss you, over in yon alley, APA209.pdf:53: —by Edward A.

APA209.pdf:53:And his freedom he did gain, APA209.pdf:53:And never more at sea would he roam. APA209.pdf:53:And that is about "Shotgunâ€, AWOL. APA209.pdf:53:At last his chance came, APA209.pdf:53:At this point in his dream, he awoke with a start, APA209.pdf:53:But now the war was over and his job was done. APA209.pdf:53:But the crew of the "T" for his honor will fight, APA209.pdf:53:For daily he was getting weaker APA209.pdf:53:For his valor he proved during Okinawa’s stormy nights. APA209.pdf:53:For there stood a bulldog unleashing loud barks. APA209.pdf:53:For who ever heard of a cat thriving on Navy beans. APA209.pdf:53:From eating "New Zealand Steak.†APA209.pdf:53:He was up and away and the hound he did outrun, APA209.pdf:53:He watched and waited, for he must soon make a break, APA209.pdf:53:He would settle down and find a home, APA209.pdf:53:In those war-torn days, he was a diversion and fun, APA209.pdf:53:Now come those dark nights, on all Seven Seas, APA209.pdf:53:Now recalling the dream, he was filled with fright, APA209.pdf:53:Or wherever sailors meet to shoot the breeze, APA209.pdf:53:So here’s the final effort and I hope it will rhyme. APA209.pdf:53:Taunt him with jibes wherever he may go, APA209.pdf:53:That he was through with the fT†and the fight. APA209.pdf:53:There are some that may think him a coward, and so, APA209.pdf:53:There's one talc that they’ll never fail to tell. APA209.pdf:53:Though his going we knew would cause the crew grievous pain.
