~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Tin Can Navy roams the high seas in search of submarine enemies. Bouncing around on rolling waves, we tried to send our foes to ocean graves, while defending our liberties. We went without the luxuries, endured despite a few miseries, because of challenges the crew braves in the Tin Can Navy. Our many nautical odysseys to distant places provided the keys to great adventures a young man craves. These days, I ride nostalgic waves across a sea of memories from the Tin Can Navy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Author's notes: 1. The Rondeau is a French form of poetry with a specific pattern of rhyme and repetition, as described and demonstrated in the following link: http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/rondeau.html . 2. The Tin Can Navy is the nickname given to the class of Navy ships known as "Destroyers," possibly because of the way they rock and roll around on the waves, or possibly because they were considered dispensable vessels as they protected more valuable assets, such as aircraft carriers and battleships, from enemy submarines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFgBJbUh9t8 . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let the creativity flow from your soul!
