Hard Lilies 百合

A L O H A !

See the Stately ANT?

“And the stately lilies stand

Fair in the silvery light,

Like saintly vestals,

pale in prayer;

Their pure breath

sanctifies the air,

As its fragrance

fills the night.”

Julia C.R. Dorr

When I'm Nice

A L O H A !

"There was a little girl

who had a little curl -

Right in the middle

of her forehead,

And when she was good,

she was very,

very good,

But when she was bad

she was horrid."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When I'm nice,

I'm Very Very

Nice

But when I'm

Bad,

I'm

Neutral!

I used to be a tough

and angry person;

Just the way I was raised.

Now that I've learned

the value of Aloha

(and YOU have been

some of my best

teachers)

My world has become

full of good people

everywhere I go.

But being human

(on the internet you can't tell,

I might be a literate dog)

I have my less than pleasant days.

Then I may radiate less warmth,

but at worst, I'm neutral,

never rude,

and that beats HORRID

ANY day!

Is there something that

YOU have worked

to improve

about YOURself?

Why We Hate Hawaii

ALOHA, Yeah RIGHT!
[Scott Caan told an interviewer that he hates living in Hawaii to film Hawaii-5O] Here's one local response:

并解除了心

为了吸引好运气，
花的新硬币上的老朋友，
分享一个古老的乐趣
与新朋友，
并解除了心
一个真正的朋友
通过写他的名字
的翅膀
龙。

To attract good fortune,
spend a new coin on an old friend,
share an old pleasure
with a new friend,
and lift up the heart
of a true friend
by writing his name
on the wings
of a dragon.
