I Wish I Was an Oscar Mayer Wiener
I have the traces of a short story bouncing around in my head. I'd guess it dates from the late 60's, or maybe 70's.
A guy has been out of circulation for several years (military? prison?) and returns home to a city in a shambles.
The notable part I remember is a girl gang, who like to whistle the tune of "I Wish I Was an Oscar Mayer Wiener", then laugh in a sinister manner. The protagonist never learns exactly what it means, but it's clearly not nice.
So, what's the story?
