Mexica Hueyi Tlatoani Cuauhtémoc

Hey Jimmy!

Oh, that's right

You don't get up

Before noon.

Anyways 

You don't care about

Anything with the military

Except setting the boats

On fire 

Or being the one to push 

The button

To annihilate entire villages

In some foreign country...

By the way,

The Mexican navy

Is in town

On a training ship

A sailing ship

They are going 

To cruise towards 

Asia for goodwill

Wonder if they have

Plans to make it to Pairs?

Probably not

But they would look

Magnificent

Along with the rest

Of the flotilla

For the Olympic 2025

Opening.....

Mexica Hueyi Tlatoani Cuauhtémoc 

Was executed in 1525

But he has a ship

Named after him

Mexicans are unique

In their thinking of the world

On the one hand

They celebrate the death

Of those who proceeded

The Spanish conquerors

But also celebrate

The demise of them as well

The end of the Imperial nation

Of the Estados Unidos

De Mexico

Well if you want to get

On one of those old boys

There is one parked 

Downtown on B street pier

But they pull up the drawbridge

At eight pm tonight

Just one day to view

The world from someones

Elses eyes

The entire navy crew

Was there this morning

While we waited

There was a junior team

That left in their uniforms

And then those whites

They had us board

While they were doing

Roll call

Had to walk around 

The crew to go up

To the front of the ship

Strange but friendly

Went for a walk afterwards

One group went to the 

Left and the other 

To the right

Wonder what their plans

Are for the day?

Well there is plenty to see

Along the boardwalk.....

My grandfather

Who raised my father

Was born in 1899

And then trained 

On the USS Constitution!

Still have those photos

Somewhere

If jimmy has gotten 

To them first

He was raised 

In the East as an Indian

Made it to Chief Engineer

On a modern war cruiser

He spent fifty years

Serving America 

Through two world wars

Stationed in San Diego

And then retired 

With an officers rank

Before he died

He was on the 

Goodwill tour

Of the old ironsides

Made it to the West coast

And did not go back

Into those woods

Jimmy is not his grandson

And is a conscientious objector

Filing as the first when

The draft was repealed

He slept all night

On the sidewalk

Outside the Post Office

Just to file under a false name

Did you know he is an illegal?

Just walked across the border

Wont go back

And causes enough trouble

To terrify foreign ambassadors....

I grew up on boats

And served in a civic way

National parks, Forestry, Search and Rescue...

I even won a few things

When I was young enough

To get respect

Instead of being offered

A hand just because

I have a walking stick

Once I was known

As well as a sailor

But now I cant even mention

Anything at all

Without a couple 

Walking away 

In disgust for some reason

Or other that I don't know

What did I do wrong?

It is all in Jimmys

Head that I am to blame

Really I was once considered a nice girl....
