"The Missive"

Pacific #2, February 1983 ($1.00)

Poem:
"Folks call him the wanderer
And here's the reason why...
Most anytime he comes to town,
He soon must say good-bye.
He isn't anti-social
And he doesn't have a curse.
It's just that when he tries to help,
He only makes things worse!"

Moral:
"A man never knows how many friends he has until
they all decide to do him in at once."
