POSTCARD TO MARIANNE AND DAVE WARE

POSTCARD TO MARIANNE AND DAVE WARE


Aloha from Oahu.
The birds of paradise 
seem to get stuck up tourist noses
And the only real cure 
is to spend some puka puka.
The waihinis in bikinis on Waikiki
give rise to mail expectations,
But, the fish don't mind 
and that's the current count in the end. 
We all shaka shaka bro, Da kine,
Okay, okay, we hang loose.
The sign says it's okay, okay
And da water, she fine.
No Pele tears here.
Pele, she quiet for now.
Missionary man, he slapped her down good.
But she be like yeast bread 
in a bowl, rising, rising.
Soon, she make ready for da oven.
