Some like to guide by force of will
While others by example lead.
Both work successfully until
A boss no longer sees the need,
Like Captain Honors out at sea,
Who banked on popularity.
Perhaps four years ago far-flung
And heedless of Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell,
He felt safe dissing gays among
Mad antics for his personnel,
Or co-ed showers videoed
In comic, water-saving mode.
Feigned masturbation, too, unveiled
To bond perhaps with all the crew,
A shipboard need since first man sailed
(He knew what they were going through)
And showed himself as one of the them,
A pose his admirals now condemn.
For Owen Honors it’s a shame.
He thought it all a harmless prank,
But only has himself to blame,
And now the bad boy walks the plank.
Cashiered, perhaps his montage could
Find just rewards in Hollywood.
