Exceptional I'm betting he won't misjudge again Oops! Sailor Errs by Tom Horonzy A poem about a Man contest entry

A sailor wet the fo'c's'le, also doused his pants when he erroneously took a chance urinating first into the wind leaving him quite chagrin 'til he veered arear and changed his stance.   It's hard to imagine this could happen to a grizzly bosun' guzzlin' a flagon but to an AG..? I cannot contemplate for they are taught how to extrapolate the direction from which the wind is blowing calculating where their pee be flowing.   The lad must've been an airman apprentice!   Author Notes fo'c's'le, - also poopdeck or forecastle - the forward part of the weather deck of a vessel bosun or boatswain -a petty officer on a vessel, in charge of rigging, anchors, cables, etc. flagon - a sipping vessel bosun's use for holding rum AG - Aerographer Mate - a weather guesser - a student of air and atmosphere. Airman apprentice - a rookie squid or sailor Credit Cotton Bro for the photograph - found on Pexels.com It was as close as I could find for the 'subject' in hand.
