Neal’s dropping the cannonball tonightLet’s hope that he does it just right**But you know there is always a fight

The fuzzy navel…

Neal’s dropping the cannonball tonite.Lets hope he does it just right.If he does it wrong’the ball will go BONGand Neal will faint from sheer fright!Thank you, no applause is necessary.

Here you will find the helpful antidote to the previous post:.

Neal, the sailing seal

Let’s hope that’s all Neal drops. No f-bombs, not his pants (like so many Ballard Street men), his lines, the melody to the club anthem, etc.

The Old Time Naval Club ship todayIs docked at the edge of Ballard Bay,All ears are tuned for “Anchors aweigh!”All hands on deck…. hooray, hooray!

The Captain, Burt, stands at the wheel,Awaiting a cannon salute from Neal…. The cannon’s antique; the powder’s real..Let’s hope Neal’s boots are lined with steel.

Uh, somebody better stop Kensington before he leaves for the meeting. I think he thinks it is a meeting of the Old Fashioned Navel Club.This will not be pretty……

Sometimes, the guys at the Old Time Naval Club can get a bit carried away with their war games….

Phil Collins is a charter member of the Old Time Navy Club…

George Clooney is a newly appointed Admiral of Vice er…Vice-Admiral !
