Robert L. Hinshaw Poet Couplet

Musings of An Old Flyboy

When I enlisted in the Air Force, homosexuality was illegal,

   Then it became optional and has recently been declared legal!

      Now that I've been long retired and have grown old and hoary,

         I'm thankful I got out before someone decided to make it mandatory!
