The Mighty Flugle
New thing, newly created,
Easily does, what you've always hated,
Ronco presents The Mighty Flugle.
which easily flups the toughest ugle.
When equipped with our patented doodlebob,
The Mighty Flugle flups not one but two ugle jobs.
Attaches easily to any bobbywind,
The Mighty Flugle's really one of a kind.
And say bye-bye to that old grabopple,
Cuz The Mighty Flugle's made of hand made copple,
At 19.99, The Mighty Flugle's an absolute steal,
Why it's the greatest invention since the wheel,
So don't be foolish, send a check right away,
and own The Mighty Flugle within 10 days.

I have this recurring fantasy. I travel to northern Ontario and hire a bush pilot who flies me to the Great Slave Lake. It is a one way trip.
I carry my trusty Ronco Survival Knife that I bought for $19.95 in a weak moment a few years ago after watching one of those late night infomercials. The top of the large serrated hunting knife is a compass, which screws off to reveal fish hooks, a bit of line, some matches, a folded up saw.
I take one eighth of my ancestors with me, the Cherokee relations. I will survive the bitter cold and the bears and wolves. I will fish, find wild berries and rob honey trees.
Lichen broths are supposed to be nutritious, even tasty, I understand.
