How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?
Day four without food.
The man on the radio said I need only wait another hour.
His boat would arrive.
His boat with food.
96 hours consuming only fresh water.
I looked for a crab or an insect,
To tie me over.
But to no avail.
The boat arrived on schedule.
The skiff pulled into the lagoon.
I was saved.
Only I wasn’t.
His offer, Percheron, Appaloosa, and Morgan choice cuts.
Tenderloins, steaks, and burgers galore.
My response,
“Do you have butterscotch pudding?”
Sunrise on a barren island.
My internal clock now passes 100 hours.
The man with the skiff now waits patiently offshore.
Reorganizing his menu to include a new variety of selections.
