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.
