Kp Or Laundry Duty

KP or laundry duty? The captain asked me.
KP I said.
Laundry duty it is, he replied with a smirk.

At least the Navy recruiter had never smirked.
You will travel to exotic places he lied.
You will learn new languages. Joining the Navy is great!

So far I have been to Detroit and New York City.
Neither exotic.
I have learned no languages but a few new swear words.
And now I am in charge of laundry. 
Big whoop!
