Oh, Thanks a lot! Here I am, trying to de-fragment my mental hard drive — and another silly memory bubbles up from deep in my memory stew — this one from a short ditty in one of my early piano lesson books:
Originally erected at StarKist Quay just after the war, the tower became the focal point of a massive uproar when local fishing captains deposited the first haul of tuna in it to protest plummeting market prices. Over the years, as more and more tuna was deposited, the practice became ossified into local tradition. Now, the only problem is gulls, terns, plovers, jackdaws, crows, and magpies, whose buzz-bombing habits remind everyone of Tippi Hedren.
painedsmile 20 minutes agoI looked up tuna tower. It’s a real thing or place. It’s the crow’s nest on a yacht. Google ‘tuna tower’ and ‘yacht’ together.

Mmm-mmm-mmm, mmmm-mmm-mmm

“Tuna fish, tuna fish
Sing a song of tuna fish.
Tuna fish, tuna fish
It’s a favorite dish.
Every body loves it so
From New York to Kokomo.
Tuna fish, tuna fish
It’s a favorite dish!”

….so, that’s what the kids are calling it, now-a-days?…
… it only tastes like tuna…
…I went to Islamorada as a teenager…
…I’d rather be on the tuna tower than the poop deck…
… that’s all I’m saying…
…I’m KING OF THE WORLD!!!…
…she was looking for Moby Dick…
…there’s a Howard Stern joke in here some place…
…porting is such sweet sorrow…
…I order the classic spicy Italian sub from Subway with all the fixins…
..add two scoops of tuna…
… plus their sweet onion and buffalo sauces…
…and
..
…yum yum…
… I call it The Atomic Sub…
So, Veronica, what ya want to do up here on the tuna Tower?
…Oh, Archie, why watch the submarine races of course…
