Story 163

Captain Quinn

“Captain Quinn,” who lives in a trash bin, says, "I love my
cozy inn. It's a great place to collect bottles and tin, to

fall asleep listening to traffic din, and to have bugs crawl

all over my skin from my shin to my chin. And eating just

rats keeps me thin.

"Because I have given away my wealth to my kith and kin, now and

then I must bum a fin to buy some gin.

"However, this be no sin and puts on my face a great big grin! "

wince. "Water," he yelled "my mouth needs a rinse "

Consequently, quince has never since been served to the finicky prince.
