Memories of Hawaii (Adult Erotica With A Twist and a BRONZE medal as well)

 

Some people think that Hawaii is a gorgeous sun-drenched island
Set in the mid-Pacific, well how stupid can you get?
It's a whole collection of islands, some bigger than the others
And some crawling with rubber-necking ill-dressed tourists,
Eager to have their credit crunch dollars repossessed
In return for nameless and unmentionable erotic services.
O glorious and wondrous state of Hawaii (which used to have
such a rather pretty flag with a nice Union Jack in the corner)
Where every discotheque is equipped with a stairlift and reinforced ramp
To accommodate the fattest yet horniest travellers in the world,
Laden with wreaths and lei cheaply imported from Taiwan,
And stuffed full of Giant-size McDonalds Beef-n-Pineapple-Burgers,

Their bowels ready to discharge a turd the size of a guava.

I was sitting on a deckchair on my balcony at the Waikiki Sheraton
(mainly minding my own business, wearing my open-crotch swimsuit),
Together with my seriously perverted Uncle-in-Law Emmanuel
Who had persuaded me to half-crucify him to the bathroom door
In order to liven up his day before another nocturnal orgy,
Trying to blot out the tuneless spewings of a load of Mexican serenaders
Doing a cha-cha-cha version of Alohe Oe on their stolen bongos
Twenty storeys below me, watched by a crowd of gawping Japs,
Taking mobile phone photos faster than a fish could fart.

But my sojourn in this peaceful Pacific paradise on earth
Was tragically interrupted by the door to my luxurious suite
Being broken open by a gang of screaming Filipino maids
Who, insulted at Uncle Emmanuel's stingy tipping policy,
After they had given him an unstinted night of tantric sex,
Sought horrid revenge on his ugly, white, emaciated body.
Singing a Tagalog a capella version of a rap hula chant,
They ripped his crucified form off the bathroom door
And hurled it over the balcony in atavistic stupor.
Wow, but I was marginally surprised by this turn of events,
So I wisely offered them a generous gratuity in advance
For a stunning selection of sexual services before fucking off
And leaving me alone with a giant Daiquiri or two.

As I lay on the balcony in post-orgasmic contemplation,
Carefully picking the more visible crabs out of my damp pubic hair,
I came to the conclusion that I may as well check out
Before the local cops came to enquire about the mangled corpse
Lying on the concrete one hundred and forty feet below.
In any case, the sun was going down over Diamond Head,
And I was totally shagged out after those saucy Filipinos.
O, it's a hard life being an intrepid international traveller
(and I was anxious to avoid the costs of Uncle Manny's funeral
as I had heard Hawaiian undertakers are quite expensive,
since most coffins are built double-size to accommodate
the coronary cases of the average obese Texan visitor).
I doubt I shall return to Hawaii as I tend to get indigestion
When I see the asking price of a decent bottle of wine. 

 

       

Author notes

I dedicate this to Islekine. It is the 64th in my "Memories" sequence and the first "islands" poem in the entire series (if you ignore the fact that most places are islands in one way or another)! I have selected a mainly blue/green colour scheme to reflect the ocean and the jungle, as a suitable colour scheme always improves things. You might like my "Los Angeles" poem: http://www.allpoetry.com/poem/4384493 .

But if you have already enjoyed that one, plough on to number 65 in this epoch-making sequence: http://allpoetry.com/poem/5117705 !

    "on their stolen bongos" ace!

  • I read this with much joy as it reminded me of a Polynesian lady (well she was coloured anyway) of my acquaintance. She was hotter and wetter than a spicy cheung fun.

    I don't know what captivated my attention but it did nonetheless. It felt like a car wreck that you can't turn from, and I mean that in a good sort of way! However perverse that may sound. I want to read more like this!

      Where do you live? It is possible some of my nearest and dearest were slaughtered there and I could write a poem about it and dedicate it to you. Or, even better, I may have already done so.

        Bristol, Virginia...and hey, I would be honored for you to dedicate a poem about the most peculiar and bizarre slaughters from the area, but I am afraid you will not find many here! You could possibly make one up if you would like!! That would please me more!!

        Here's to trauma and trainwrecks!!

  • I hope you get good travel insurance, you seem to have some awful, awful luck old chap.

    I felt this one brings not only colour to the page, but a colorful telling. I like the way it meanders from present moment to a glimpse or two of the proceeding night to present thought. All the while, giving keenly raw observations of the others
    that seem to be more like the narrator then not.
    My only suggestion would be a second glance at the punctuation/capitalization. A couple of times, I thought I had lost my spot, skipped a line due to some misplaced periods and large letter starts.

      I am disturbed to hear about your misplaced periods. Where do you live? It is likely that some of my relatives were slaughtered near there. If so, I could write a poem about it and dedicate the item to you. Please say yes.

    Brilliantly written , extremely humourous
    love the ocean , thought I would love Hawaii
    but I can say now I have learned something I never knew
    about it and have seen it in a whole new light
    Very glad to have read this

      Pray do tell me where do you live? It is possible some of my nearest and dearest were slaughtered brutally there and I could write a poem about it and dedicate it to you. Or, even better, I may have already done so, in which case I would give you the link so you could enjoy another of my wonderful tales of mayhem and agony.

    Aw, Oahu is fun for a little while but it wasn't for me. Big Island is where it's at. It certainly sounds as if you've been to Waikiki though. Malama Pono!

    Other than the fact that it is impossible for the sun to go down over Diamond Head from any vantage point at the Waikiki Sheraton, I could not find any factual inaccuracies in this poem.

      Thank you! I was not suggesting that I actually SAW the sun going down over DH - just that it did (unseen by me).

    This is a wonderful story you have here, I would like to point out, however, the line "Twenty storeys below me" Storeys is spelled Stories I have to agree about the ramps though, That is one thing I noticed on my numorous trips to Wakiki. They even had a ramp to the McDonalds! Great write! I enjoyed the cynic humor involved!

      Thankyou for your kind words!

      HOWEVER: I would like to point out the correct spelling of story/storey in English.
      Story/pl. stories : a narrative;
      Storey/pl. storeys : a floor of a multi-level building.
      It may well be that "storey" changes its spelling in Americanised English (I have no idea about that), but in English English, "storeys" is the correct plural!

      I am delighted you enjoyed the poem. I see you live in Georgia (USA, not the larger one in Eastern Europe). You might enjoy http://www.allpoetry.com/poem/3479984 as it is about the Deep South...

        I see - he said, smiling the while - that these old colonials still have difficulty with the English language that you perambulate so well. LOL

        PS Or should that read "Home and Colonials"? This minor joke only works if your were born before 1940 or so!!!!

    Oh Barry.... Where on earth can you possibly find peace and harmony?? I, too, was about to pick out exactly the line that just mercedes chose as my very favourite. A tour de force darling. xx Chills

      Surely "Mexican serenaders doing/a cha-cha-cha version of Alohe Oe on their stolen bongos" runs it close as it gets in a jibe about Mexicans being dishonest as well?

    Your usual inspired travelogue, heightened by passages of pure poetical genius, such as

    'Singing a Tagalog a capella version of a rap hula chant'

    I have to say this is quite different to my memories of Hawaii, but it sounds like lots more fun.

    I'm so disappointed you said this is the first island poem in the series - I do remember fondly your New Zealand poem, and if that's not islands, I can probably walk to Australia.

    Best of luck in the contest.

      In a sense you are correct about "island"; but NZ is more than just an island or collection of them: it is a nation! And the NZ islands are quite big. One could equally say Australia is an island. Or indeed my own glorious homeland, Great Britain. Anyway, what does this pedantry matter in the face of the fact that this poem actually won a prize!

    Ah me! It takes me back - the cruxifixion is what I mean, you should have been there to enjoy it with me, he said.
    By the by, seranaders should be serenaders, thort u'd lyke to no that. Your story telling is crying out for universal acclaim, innit?

      Thank you for your proof-reading services again. May I return the compliment: only one X in crucifixion (really I would prefer "crucifiction" as that contains a witty denial of the event in it!
