"Shanghaied!"

Pacific #5, October 1983 ($1.00)

Poem:
"If a man, you want to be-
Pack your bag and put to sea.
Life is full of rough commotion
When you live upon the ocean.
Sailing men are never sissies,
Most are tougher than Ulysses.
Everyone is strong and true-
Everyone, that is but Groo."

Moral:
"Few things in life are so dependable as the incompetence of those
who know precisely what they are doing."
