"A Reminiscence by Walt Harned
"
"My journey began with a hitched ride
"on a sampan out of Singapore.  I had
"to share quarters with six chickens
"and a disgruntled warthog.  I've
"never forgiven those chickens.

"THE VILLAGE OF THE DARNED
"
"Our first stop was the quaint village
"of Tofu.  The chief welcomed me with
"open arms and invited me to share his
"hut with him and his five wives.  I
"was able to escape a week later, but
"to this day cannot bear the sight of
"overripe mangoes.

"PRETTY GULLS ALL IN A ROW
"
"It was on the isle of Parkay that I
"began my lifelong feud with gulls.
"They are lovely, graceful sea birds
"who bring life to an azure sky, music
"to a still South Pacific evening, and
"a white, fetid crust to the pate of
"any human walking on the beach.

"THE DAWN OF THE MALTESE PARROT
"
"Ahab was the name I gave my pet
"parrot who constantly perched on my
"shoulder.  I taught him to talk and
"he repaid me by telling Customs about
"the harmless contraband I had in my
"knapsack.  Later, in jail, I found
"that he also had excellent taste.

"THE DAZE OF THE DOLPHIN
"
"It was on the island of Spumoni that
"I linked up with a dolphin who taught
"me his language.  He wanted to be
"taken to the Cetology Lab at Stanford
"but I told him he could have a larger
"influence on mankind if he went to
"Hollywood.  I really liked Flipper.

"THE TIMES OF THE TURKEYFISH
"
"I met Dr. Moreau on an island due
"south of Huzzanga.  He was experi-
"menting with combining life forms and
"I, famished from my travels,
"suggested mixing ham and turkey.  No
"pigs were available but now the reefs
"are covered with turkeyfish.  Mmmmm.

"THE SEAL AND THE SHARK
"
"I was scuba diving off Slikwili Atoll
"when I spied a seal hiding from a
"deadly Great White.  Luckily Cap'n
"Quinn's boat distracted the shark and
"now the seal is fat and lazy, chasing
"balls for tourists at Seaworld.
"Cap'n Quinn is still into sharks.

"THE EYE OF THE IGUANA
"
"This is the first thing I saw after
"being washed up on the Gallopin'
"Ghost Islands.  She sort of adopted
"me and kept me alive with flies and
"crabs.  I never forgot her kindness
"and even now continue to get compli-
"ments on my stylish cowboy boots.

"THE GATHERING OF THE GODS
"
"My journey almost at an end, I fasted
"for a week before asking these stone
"behemoths for advice on the future.
"'LOADSTAR' they said.  Years later I
"heard that they made excellent gravel
"for the Easterplex Mall parking lot.

"ONE OF MANY STRANGERS I MET
"
"We took this old coot for a tourist
"at first, but his uncanny ability to
"tell if we'd been bad or good soon
"made him a favorite of the policias.
"Years later he was himself hauled
"into court on charges of sexual
"harassment of an elf.
