The Bahama Oriole
our Bahamian coconut bird
is the crown gem of our Androsian coast
soaring from Morgan's Bluff to Mars Bay
where their elegance
of yellow and black are treasured
The Bahama Oriole
our Bahamian coconut bird
is the dream endemic of our naturalists
where you can take your scopes and binoculars
and see them nesting on our coconut palms
When you come to The Bahamas
to visit our coconut birds
they will only roam the skies
of our sleeping giant in the north
where you can hear
the sounds and calls
of their majestic voices
echoing the atmosphere
near the forests and coastlands
The Bahama Oriole
our Bahamian coconut bird
is the hidden gem of Andros Island
whether you spot them in Nicholl's Town
Staniard Creek or Mangrove Cay
* Note: The Bahama Oriole is one of 6 endemic species of birds found in The Bahamas. They are nicknamed The "Coconut Bird" by the locals due to their preferences to nest in coconut palms.They can only be found on the Island of Andros, which is the largest island of The Bahamas

Over four thousand years
New and old known-trees propagated without fears
Coconut tree is one
History out of many that's never gone
Reaching and multiplying from East to West
Islands with tall trees that never die nor rest
Soft food and sweet juices that come out
Tastes like salad and miracle water that stands out
Madagascar and Eastern globe that feast
Australesians converge and never celebrate with least
Sooner than Christmas Day people gather
Day and night, share and dine under any weather
All trees honor the Coconut Tree
Your "Fairy Godmother of Trees!"
Just having some fun.... Thanks to Paula
If you’ll be stranded in a place with only me around
I’ll bring you in my arms safely, comfortably and sound,
I’ll feed you young white spongy-like sprouts and fruits
Provide your clothes from my trunk’s skin, flowers and leaves,
honing your creativity in a flying trapeze of joy or parachutes!
I’ll heal your ailments, I’ve good featured medicines
I’ll give everything I have, treating you my king or queen,
You’ll build your exquisite house and complete furniture
with enough utensils, decors, working and cleaning tools.
You’ll be a great survivor in my embrace ‘til the future!
I am a coconut tree swaying in the breeze,
here in the warm sand I will never freeze.
My big coconuts you cannot squeeze,
but you can add my juice to your teas.
I am loved by the big yellow bees,
bees also love to use water skis.
On this island of coconut trees,
I watch the visitors eating fruits with cheese.
The young men love to climb me to look at the seas,
saying no rain please.

I used to live in a coconut.
That’s what they say.
Living in coconut flesh.
Cracking open.
With a machete.
So that there is nothing left to do.
But sit on the beach.
I used to go to therapy.
But now therapy lives in me.
Like a locket.
Lost in the ocean.
Always at the bottom of the ocean.
Tumbling on the ocean floor.
I went back to therapy.
It was a week after September 24th.
She told me I’ll never go back inside.
There is nothing left to do.
Except live anywhere.
But a coconut.
I went back to therapy.
I tell myself it means nothing to me.
soft as a whisper, light as air
layers stacked with tender care
coconut spun like winter’s lace
a birthday wish, a warm embrace
frosting whipped, not much too sweet
but rich with love, a secret treat
each bite a cloud, a sugared dream
vanilla kissed with coconut cream
the candles flicker, shadows dance
her hands so sure, her knowing glance
she cuts a slice, sets it down
a taste of love in golden brown
years have passed, the cake remains
a tender thread through time and change
i close my eyes, i taste, i see—
mama’s hands still bake for me
Heel Cota makes his in ring debut versus "SumThang Specail" Derrgentt Cetter and manager "Bounce" Binny Banger. in a Stay Outta the corner strap match.
Both guys will be telthered in one corner, while four other guys will be tethered in the opposiite corner. The four guys have no alliance to either combatant and have the right to have action with the two men. 1;00 in the corner is the total time allowed. A regular three count or Countout will determain the winner. Contention matches can make new comers and lesser apprecated wrestlers instant contenders to the Worlds Championship. We heard the the Championship committe and the fans want to see someone comeup the ladder, uncrown either the Worlds Champion or the tagteam champions. I heard Dence Castburger say " this is a place of oppurtunities: we wanna see the best man win: if it's from the Contention Series< we'll thant's great for business!"
Silicone plastic spatulas
and the plastic spoon sets
I am flowered in the shade of bird wings
neath patch of deep sadness absent of clouds
beholden to loosen memories mist filtered
cell charged energies their liberal release
bars that separate the spirited guardians
of fortitude held till dawn gilded rays shone
on the levy's shoreline thrashing waves
tethering the oceanic breezes crowning the
curling tops of surf swirling foams that
champion a sandy blackened shorelines
surging and receding in merciful coiling
of rejuvenating wetness where beached
life shoots to recapture folds of a fragile
domain as the briny seawater air loops
loosely stretch o'er the isles beckoning
the suds of waves and coconut thuds fall.
Husk has been removed
Shell has been separated
Meat is now exposed.
COCONUT CRAVINGS
In the heart of tropic lands, they stay,
Two lovers 'neath the coconut tree,
Basking in its abundance, at play,
As coconut water flows wild and free.4
Underneath the azure sky so bright,
They sip on their coconut water, sweet.
In the golden sunshine's warm delight,
A taste that makes their love complete.8
The purity of that coconut sweet,
Clears their minds and spirits high,
In nature's embrace, their souls meet,
Amidst coconut waters that don't run dry.¹²
With every sip, they taste the pure,
The essence of nature's own delight,
Their cravings quenched, their love sure,
The coconut flourishes, a wondrous sight,¹6
As coconut water cascades down.
In each other's arms, they float,
Their union & cravings couldn't drown,
Wrapped in love's pure, tender coat.²°
Together, they revel in coconut's grace,
Its nourishing touch, a pure symphony,
Bound by love in this coconut place,
Two hearts entwined, forever free.²4

Fish a floating coconut from edge of the Caribbean Sea
Hux the outermost part with a machete
See its brown hairy shell hard as a rock,
Pierce its eyes, which will rain healing waters.
Cut out the white meat for lunch or dessert!
Create some ornament from its polished shell.
