Question of Loyalty



Look at this new rear gunny,
his uniform sure fits funny
Are your sure, he’s one of us?
Put him at the back of the sub,
six decks below
Begging your pardon, Admiral,
that is where
she was assigned to go
Gunny has 
top merit of her class
Torpedo ordinance expertise,
pure marksman target release
But I don’t like 
the salute of his hand
It don’t look navy masculine
I care not for his name:
Natasha is Russian feminine
