On the subject of BORROWED DESCRIPTIONS ----My quest to appreciate my island roots

I live on an island in the Pacific region The largest body of water is the OCEAN Like, can we be more Pacific? I think Christopher Columbus got lost Because the directions were not pacific Oh, excuse me, the Pacific Ocean Where you will find the small islands (micronesia) Where you will find the black islands (melanesia), Where you will find the many islands (polynesia) Generally, the islanders are like coconuts So hard on the outside But succulent on the inside Yet they always end up wanting Samoa Get this, An assault by an Islander is called a Hawaiian Punch At times, these islands need a therapist when they are in a tropical depression Some islands have sunk Oh no do not laugh That is not funny atoll Sea yourself out Therefore, I live on an island A small island I am a MICRO I mean, how can I get more pacific than that?

To be ' Pacific, ' I'm definitely ' wanting Samoa, ' because this is so ' succulent on the inside. ' :) Your thoughts bring a smile, Patti. I love everything about this masterpiece you've created. I'm placing this in my favorites, to read again and again. Congratulations on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Dear Patti, OMGoodness, Your poem is HILARIOUS! Stealing "directions not pacific" for sure Also, claiming all islanders want Samoa? Dead You deserve that POTD title for sure, kelp up the laughs! P.S. Atoll joke? A little rough, but hey, gotta sea what you can do. Blessings My Friend, Daniel

I live on an island in the Pacific too called Australia. I think I’ll call it Macronesia. That makes us neighbours to be pacific. So congrats neighbour on your POTD. An enjoyable read.

Absolutely love this! I lived in Hawaii for three years and yes, I was of the generation to deliver a Hawaian Punch. This happened at my grandma’s house. Yes, my sister’s drink spilled and I got the scowl from Grandma! My daughter-I-L is from Guam. A fave for me! Delightful and funny too!
