FIRES ON MONKEY ISLAND (an honest to goodness parable!)

Penguin Island was once

Monkey Island

but San Francisco is

too cold for monkeys

so they put up

heaters on Monkey island

but monkeys (being monkeys)

tipped them over

frequently creating

fires on Monkey Island

that's how Monkey Island became

Penguin Island
