TWO HULAS: THE STORM, by WALKER WINSLOW
First Line: Puna has paddled all night in the storm
Last Line: At the story he'll tell of his night in the hag's arms.
Subject(s): Storms
First Line: Puna has paddled all night in the storm
Last Line: At the story he'll tell of his night in the hag's arms.
Subject(s): Storms
Puna has paddled all night in the storm
and got no place at all in it.
If the storm is large,
Puna's temper is but little smaller.
Slap after slap he's had at the storm's hands;
the typhoon has given him eight good punches.
He can tell you about the whip the North Wind swings
and sad though he'll look on Hilo's beach,
the forty thousand buttocks of the town
will get a good shaking
at the story he'll tell of his night in the hag's arms.
