Of Mockingbirds and Rainbows
arrived in oz ~ a rainbow in the sky.
a tropical warm paradise sunrise.
the Waikiki blue waters welcome me.
and golden pineapple juice drips down face -
so ripe, my cheeks blush with sunburn tint.
oh mangoes, papaya – my tummy’s joy!
sea surf and boogie boards to ride the waves,
and snorkeling on Hanauma Bay’s cove.
allure from ocean calm to north shore doom.
sight mockingbirds? they hear island gossip.
beware – they lather, rinse, repeat your speak.
intel thus gathered from such tourists – us!
