A small gaily-decorated launch is seen tying up at the quay.
Out step an African man in full African costume, a rather plump old lady carrying an enormous Victoria sponge cake, and several Siamese cats wearing jolly little ruffs and with bright ribbons on their tails.
They enter the tavern smiling, and the party begins.

The cats perform the Siamese Moggie Polka.
The African performs an Ivorian dance.
And the old lady plays her melodeon.

Crumpets, kilos of butter and all the other good things are served, while the cats get fatter and fatter from gorging on the delicious creamed tuna.
The old lady dances in turn with the wombats, Donuel, Beardedbruce, the wombless bat, the Squid and all the other customers in the tavern.

The noise is tremendous and there are big smiles all round...
