"The Turn of the Wheel"
Pacific #4, September 1983 ($1.00)
Poem:
"If you wind up in a crunch
And some dragon thinks you're lunch
Or a vulture's got his evil-eye on you
Do not scream and do not cry
Heed these words and notify
The great champion of champions named Groo.
If some tribe has started floggin'
Or they'd like to shrink your noggin
Or some evil witch demands to be your wife
Don't go plan some Japanese trip
Call the gent who savors cheese dip
And the odds are even he will save your life."
Moral:
"All of life is a series of trades. And the more you exchange,
the less you have to show for it."
