Uniformed

Uniform She was sitting on a cleat crying, beside her a suitcase and a vanity bag of leather. She was waiting for her husband but the storm at sea he was delayed, the wind was strong even here and her auburn hair attracted my libido I took her to a nearby hotel trying to throw my weight around with my uniform that three stripes on the arm, alas they were made of silver which meant I was a catering officer and the staff at the hotel called me a steward. It was only when I hinted having been a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War, they showed some respect; mind isn`t that disaster a long time ago, I actually was there trying to save people who had worked for the enemy. When the ship eventually docked, I went onboard told the chief engineer where she was. I reflected on the fact that due to the delay I had had her before him. He was married to a tart bedding a man with silver stripes
