scales dipped in poi. After this course, nobody seems to care much for any more. I believe it was Gorgeous Clark who planned the menu—such a unique combination! Now that the eating is finished, I notice several of the guests have waded into the water and are very busy feeding the fish. I recognize three or four of them as Lover Larson, Tiny Taylor, Skinny Thompson, and Sneaky Osborne. We can see some movement in the trees, so let’s go investigate. It’s a card game. Slugger Watts is slipping an ace from under her foot and Matrimony Miller has what looks like half a deck partly covered by her grass skirt. Ogilvee Olivee Oliver is crying because she’s getting beat. This is quite a game of “Old Maid” they’re having. Nearby we find the Sanchez twins, Rudy and Eddy. Eddy is lifting weights and Rudy is crocheting. Sailing across the water in a banana boat is Pee Wee Danby and his crew of banana pickers. There is Jack Rabbit Chapman singing the “Banana Boat Song,” and chiming in we can hear the silvery voices of Ferdinand Fernandez, Bacon Grisey, Hobo Kolbo, Hugo Lugo, and Gordo McCamly. Now for the main event of the day. I notice a makeshift ring has been set up on the beach and a crowd is beginning to gather. The voice of Higginbritches, the notorious announcer, is heard droning through the microphone. “In one corner, Tiger Lilly Jones, 252 pounds, and measuring 55-22-86, with the red long-johns. Her challenger, Urpie Ehrlich 94 pounds in red and white striped shortie pajamas.” Rebel Royse is manicuring Tiger Lilly’s toenails and Soupy Santana is massaging her back. Beatnik Stickney is blowing Urpie’s nose and Fray Marcos de Sandoval (I believe he named himself) is combing his hair. And there’s the bell! The managers have disappeared, and out of her corner Tiger comes crawling, snorting, and spitting fire. Urpie is climbing the pole in his corner yelling for his mother. Jumping up and down in the middle of the ring is the referee, Goofy Gabaldon. Suddenly Urpie gains courage and steps on Tiger’s head, and that’s the end of the fight. Who won? I suppose Urpie did because he’s the only one left. The canvas broke in the middle and Tiger fell through. They’re still digging for her in the sand. The authors of this literary masterpiece wish to remain anonymous for a very good reason. They are very modest and do not wish to receive any credit or praise for this new style of writing called Greek Goulash they introduced to the literary world. — Editor
