Susan Abbott:
From the heart of a lonely poet, came a song for the girl he adored. 'Tho she tried very hard not to show it, she was terribly, terribly bored.

[at Donald's school]
Donald Martin: [to Joe] Tell us how you got your medal. Joseph Brady: Alright, I'll tell you how I got my medal. Now close your eyes... and try to think of the most beautiful place you've ever with greenest grass and the singingest birds and the shiningest sun. [Cut to Donald's thoughts] Joseph Brady: Can you see it? Kids: Yeah! Joseph Brady: Good! Now imagine me walking along, happy as a lark. Can you see me? Kids: Yeah! Joseph Brady: Good! Of course, back then in the navy we wore white suits with blue stripes and little white hat with a little red ball on top. Oh, I was so happy I ran and leaped and played, just for the fun of it! My, it felt good! Oh, it was such a wonderful, wonderful day! When all of a sudden I stepped into a big hole and fell, right to the bottom of it! I seemed to be in a long tunnel. 'Way ahead I could see light, so I started towards. At the end I found myself in a strange land! It looked... well, it looked just like page out of story books. And everything was hushed and still, like your room at night after you've gone to sleep.

Chorus: [singing] Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh. Chorus, Donald Martin: [singing] Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day. Chorus: [singing] Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam. / Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home. / Anchors Aweigh.
