Oahu Memories

T' night after a peaceful bubbly sunset And a well painted aftermath. We 're about to stroll down Alongside the Alawai Canal Beneath aloha waving palm fronds Carefully stepping around the biggest frogs We've ever seen At least twice the size of a normal bull frog The radio station is disappearing into darkness Lit up Kalakau boulevard replaces setting sunlight We cross diagonally headed up from Lipipee Street Towards our apartment home at 710 Pumehana The cool onshore breeze ripples her mumu and my aloha shirt The tiki bar across the bridge is as unlit as ever The crowd and the owners discourage haolis Enjoying the privacy of talking the kind And the simple pleasures of neighborly friends The pupu and beer flows freely as the night deepens Teriyaki never tasted so good and picking lichees on the way back over makes the night taste forever
