located on Oahu
It's there just for you.

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

There was a ballerina named Lulu
Who wanted to go see Honolulu
   She got such a deep tan
   When before she was wan
Her friends renamed her Zanzibar Zulu...

A Honolulu morning
It’s a December Sunday.
Nobody expected this.
Death rains from the skies.

There was once a lawyer from Honolulu
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...

The shade of a monkeypot tree
Is as cool as the shade can be
But monkeypod pox
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 ...

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!

Aloha also is Goodbye

How do, You do,
(Obama, who?)
Honolulu,
"Gathers," the pro-left best
they stick like cements,

Issues: starved mass,
overcrowdedness;
their gilded penthouse nests
o'er the homeless tents.

A hen behaved very hip
                                   nobody liked her ego trip
                                    Free cruise to Honolulu
                                     Her name is now Lulu
                                She enjoys life and skinny dip

Barack Obama is a Senator and a family man too.
He was born in Hawaii in Honolulu.
He has a wife and two daughters who he loves very much.
When it comes to the issues that are important, he's in touch.
He can be a great leader for this land.
If I ever meet him, I'll shake his hand.
He will be a candidate who I'll always remember.
I hope he wins the Presidency this November....

Here I am on the isle of Oahu.
This Hawaii vacation was long overdue.
There's a lot to see in Honolulu City.
Have you heard of the beach called Waikiki?
With the sand and the palm trees, it looks quite pretty.
However, if I want to get away for a while,
I will just take a short trek to the north of the isle.
There's a nicer place within a short driving reach.
Spend some time with me at Sunset Beach....

Mr. Biggy Bumblesmart flirts with every girl he meets
            Girls are angry bumpy chivvied  with his daily dumb repeats
                                They think a very puckish plan
                                They buy a hefty Honolulu hen
                And give it to Mr. Bumblesmart for his routine shticks

Both tourists and islanders shop at this store.
It sells souvenirs, cold drinks, and much more.
Find them on many streets in Honolulu.
Leave the city, and they're all over Oahu.
Explore these stores on the Big Island too.
Go to their shops on Maui and Kauai.
They even have places on Molokai.
Their selections and bargains are worth a look-see.
These Hawaiian convenience stores are called ABC.

She launched into sea in 1852,
And was build by Donald McKay.
She sailed from Honolulu, Hawaii
To New York in a whopping 82 days.

She set the fastest speed ever recorded,
On her second leg voyage for a sailing ship.
She logged in at 22 knots/25 mph,
Over a 24 hour, 400 mile trip.

She loved to sail the open ocean,
Sailing away with the breeze.
She was a Bostonian Clipper Ship,
Named the Sovereign of the seas....

an importation
who we never found again
lost in translation

a blow was crushing
Face turned red had been blushing
put foot in my mouth

when you are like all the rest
and shut the heck up

Sounds like is from Hawaii
pineapple cable

seemed to be so nice
have no Honolulu vice
so to white house went

dancing girl in disguise
much to my surprise was wise
next new president...
