A Fish Story for Namaile

"Hey old
man...can't
you paddle
a little
faster?"
"Let your
Grandpa
tell you a
story, my
little Zippy
Napple. A
long time
ago, back
in the 70's,
I used to paddle for a canoe club. We was called the Hui-o-Books.
One time we went against the Outrigger Canoe Club and raced
in the Ala Wai Canal. Of course the Outrigger Canoe Club beat
us. Not because they was big Kanaks and Pohtagees. It was cuz
our paddlers was using oars that was made out of screen. Dass
right, they was catching fish while they were paddling. When we
pau the race, our Visayan paddlers caught a bunch of tilapia. I
told em, 'Hey you crazy knuckleheads, we lost the race again.'
But they said, 'Yah but look how much tilapia we got.' That's
why whenever people hear about the Hui-O-Books, they get sked."
"Grandpa, I know your story is full of crap...but I still love you."
