Honolulu

If you're going to Honolulu
be sure to wear a flower behind your ear
if you're coming to Honolulu
you're going to meet some gentle people here
more than just a fashion statement
a plumeria represents birth love

if you're married or unavailable
wear it behind your left
on the right

Agatha Christie 1890-1976

er first time on a board,
February 1922,
was Muizenberg, South Africa,

the lady surfed Honolulu,
Hawaii, where,
by Duke Kahanamoku,
there may have been taught,
and in Waikiki lost her shorts.
Who would have thought,
of all the girls
in the whole wide world,
she was the sort to shoot the curl.
Tho' a novel way to spend the day,
no crime this time,

Can chill city blocks
So please keep your distance from me!  


n.b.  FIVE cases of monkeypod pox
reported in Honolulu, where 
monkeypots are called monkeypods

Pothole State Park

Honolulu's Pothole State Park
Is a scary place after dark
With potholes so deep
Anything could creep
From octopus to Great White Shark!

Honolulu Fire - New

fresh scent of his shirt, pressed
to my nose — Honolulu fire

frangipani and hibiscus passion
(too hot for the millennials)

fine-wine aged, luxuriant tastes.
Oh, Babe!

Homeless In Honolulu

This is a tropical paradise where many tourists meet.
However, you will still see homeless people living in the street.
These folks struggle to receive a handout.
Each day is living with some considerable doubt.
Survival means putting up a daily fight.
However, it is warm enough so they don't freeze at night.
Along the thoroughfares just north of Waikiki Beach,

Who always suffered from flu
He never stood before the judge
If he was offered a fudge
And a ticket to the land of the zulu
