You're in the Navy Now

Standing at quarters one morning whilst stationed aboard the USS Adroit. Lieutenant Montgomery was doing the muster.

"BROWN?"
"Here!"

"DAVIS?"
"Present, sir."

"JACKSON?"
"Here!"

"KIBBEY?" "Yo."

"STEPHENS?"
"Present, sir."

"SEEBACK?"
Nothing.

"SEEBACK?!"
Still nothing.

"DOG GONE IT, SEEBACK!"

The division Chief whispered into the Lieutenant's ear, "Sir, turn the paper over."
