Le Voyage Magnifique

Another Day

Honka! Honka! Honka!
All hands to General Quarters! This is not a drill.

And so another day begins
aboard the USS Kennedy
at 0300 hours on Sunday morning.

Deep in the bowels of the ship,
the steam is hissing,
and the turbines are turning,
as we proceed at flank speed
to meet the enemy.
