Ship Ahoy!

Ten-year-old Doug was thrilled when he found out he could spend an entire weekend aboard a Navy ship with his father. What an amazing learning experience!

Stairs were ladders,
the bathroom the head.
There was also the bilge,
the bosun's pipe and the bridge.

Sleeping wasn't done in a bed but, rather, a berth.
It was all like a new language.
Was he still on earth?
