Family Get Togethers

I remember when we would put up the big tent
 Bring out the tables     Buss out the grines
   Gas lanterns hanging from tent bungies

Surrounded by family and friends
 "Hui unko"
    "Eh boy come come, go eat, inu" papa would say

Hear the nalu crash against the a'a rocks
 Feel the spray of ehuka   The sway of the coconut trees

Bells ring   Rachet
 Watch as headlights scramble for the catch
   Ulua on the line   Clean um    Sashimi

Inu flows free
 We're having a good time    Relaxing

Buss out the instruments
 Uke, guitar, pankini bass, spoons
   Kanikapila till the sun comes up

Surrounded by safety and love
 Listening to the music and laughter   Conversation mixing with the clink of bottles
   I drift away to dream land

Tomorrow we'll get up and start again.
