Capt'ns Chair

There's an old, retired Navy man who sits in his chair by the road and engages folks who walk by.  He's a skinny guy with a feathered,  antique straw hat on his crown and not a tooth in his head.  He's always pleasant and will invite you to sit for a spell and chew the fat. 
     I've never been able to accept his hospitality but I hope he doesn't hold it against me.
