Have You Found Big Head Beach

Have you found Big Head Beach yet? They said.
I heard it sixty times before I was fed.
Is it on this island or the next one? I asked.
They argued and pondered, and one of them gasped.

They could not agree where it was exactly.
But none of them wanted to let me be.
I was in Hawaii for a month and a day.
When I finally found it, I yelled Hooray!

The Big Heads met me and gave me a high five.
There were nine of them, they were big and alive!
They erased my memory before I left though.
So, if you want to find it, you will have to hunt to and fro.

I was in Hawaii for four years, and I don't think I came across Big Head Beach. I met a lot of big-headed people, though, especially on Waikiki Beach.

You probably were not rude enough to call them "big heads".
