Wonderful poem, Carl- - I like your rhyme form! Enjoyed immensely! My father was a sailor who worked on planes and helicopters, and he'd been known to take a drink or two. But he wasn't a poet. That vocation fell to me!

Thanks for the read and comment. Rhyme Royal is such a cool poetic form to tell a story. I am happy to hear it made you think of your father, and that you picked up the pen. Have a good day.
