Out from the 'Chop Shop,' breaking laws, "Speed bumps, Hoods!" Scold Grand Mamas, Found with the blacksmith made lots of noise, Served an acquittal now kissing boys, First comes the stocking of little Nell Wait cause Grand Mas legs still swell, Next comes the stocking of little Will Oh, it's filled to its brim with swill Oh, oh, no! "I" - "da" - "ho?" Oh, oh, no! "O" - "hi" - "o?" Get up it's nonstop, quick, quick, quick Down to the car and without this chick!

Yes, for the season is upon us. I've received two boxes today, that UPS promised to deliver before Christmas, one was 20 pounds, thinking it would be one grandkid's ready to pounce, anyhow, "Mele Kalikimaka a Hau'oli Maka Hiki Hou 2024" Aloha, William

My choice was the "ooo" sound of the State referencing the medley of the song. Thank you, Andrea--'twas fun. Aloha, William
