THE HONOLULU BOY
Reading edition
COCOANUT milk and poi, Cocoanut curds and fish, For the Honolulu boy,— What more could a baby wish?
Taro and yams and chicken,— Baby shall have a feast,— Bones of the pig for pickin’, Fat little face well greased!
A sleep in the house of grasses, A swim in the cool lagoon, A kiss as the trade wind passes, And a low Kanaka tune!
