Poem
One year, over the ocean, Santa veered off course His reindeer were battling a hurricane force. As the sleigh went spinning and spiraling around, an island appeared far below on the ground, dotted with palms on a white sandy beach. Santa took heart that land was in reach. Through starlight’s glow and the light of the moon Santa touched down — not a moment too soon. A lavish Luau on Lahaula mats was laid, a sumptuous feast over which a Kahuna prayed with fish on ti leaves, tropical fruits, and eggs-fu-yung colorful flower leis were draped after being strung Pearly shells glimmered on every waving palm Ukuleles were strumming to songs sweet and calm while dancers swayed ami with soft hula hands. Santa had landed in a paradise found. His beard was snow white, his boots shiny black and he wore a red suit with a red elfin hat. “I’m Father Christmas,” and - I’m surprised too that we celebrate in much the same way as you with peace and goodwill, and with eating and singing. ‘Mele Kalikimaka,’ is our song of greeting As we celebrate Christmas— in island style. On they kept strumming, and singing and drumming. while Santa felt tempted to stay and join in. But time was short as Christmas morning grew near. He had sworn a duty to all he held dear. He saw a bright star rising up in the East The time had come - he must leave from this feast So he readied his reindeer to take to the stars This was the latest — he’d ever been — by far to bring toys to children all over the world curled up in bed in their little dreamworlds. “Come Dasher, Come Dancer, Come Prancer and Vixen. Come Comet, Come Cupid, Come Donner and Blitzen.” We’ll find our way here some other midnight “Mele Kalikimaka to ALL - and to ALL a Good Night.”
