inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 28 February 2021, sanguine.
As he sanguinely followed convention,
Captain stood on the bridge to attention,
With his stiff upper lip,
He went down with his ship.
As he, stoic, began his descention!
Was scurrying for me dectionary here. Apparently, sanguinely is a bona fide adverb. but the less said about descention, the better!
Oh, and, silly bastard…
Mister Bump 
Lovely, a proud farewell.

(Actually I’d sooner be both, but we can’t have it all 🤣)

Same. But honor definitely made these last moments more meaningful.
