It all began on a sunny day

After the showers had gone away

Let umbrellas be folded and stashed

Despite a few clouds and rainchecks cashed

Dapper and chipper in bright colored frocks

Shrivelled up flowers now open in mock

Prestige and pomp strolling in the gold beams

Scarred only slightly by the dried up streams

Breezy tradwinds tossle freshly washed curls

Announce with a “snap” as the sail unfurls

Dream of drifting on the glassy sea

Finish the day under a lazy palm tree

Down at the shoreline of Waikiki.
