ALOHA DAZE
Welcome :)
Welcome :)
View of urban Honolulu's Makiki neighborhood.That "hill" at top is Punchbowl,
home of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
where President Obama's Grandfather
(in whose home the boy lived for years)
a WWII veteran, lies among generations of warriors.
The Hawaiians call it Puowaina, "the place of sacrifice,"
which it was once - the human kind.
That's MY view!I'm Priscilla;
I'm happy that many of you asked about me.
No, Cloudia is just a friend of a friend
(my human Mykal).
That view above is MINE.
You see:
I'm an aristocrat.
My hay is always kept fresh,
here in my Makiki penthouse.
Wanna see Mykal's room?
Look at the rare Seattle Sea-Hawks headgear.I like when he wears his wing helmet though.
We look like gods together then!
But I haven't forgotten my roots. . .
At my direction
Cloudia has posted a slide show she made
of some country bumpkins

Aloha, Priscilla. Thanks for the post, and the view of your domain.
ReplyDeleteI love this little piggy, Priscilla, that name fits so well. She is adorable. I also loved the collection of hats. My son has his own collection and he would love that one with the wings. Your video had me smiling, in fact this whole post did. Thanks Cloudia and enjoy your weekend.

wonderful and original ! thank you
ReplyDeleteHey Cloudia! I will most certainly get your book. I am a little lost haole girl that gets stuck in Waikiki too often! I would really love to have coffee. This is my email address: dayanamay at yahoo dot com. please email me soon and we'll figure something out! And, what a sweet little piggy!
ReplyDeleteCloudia, I see why you like this video and that aristocratic pig.
ReplyDeleteThank you for providing happiness. Please have you all a good Sunday.

ReplyDeletealoha!!
cute pig.
ReplyDeletep.s.... there is a Fiction Writer's group in Kapolei that I heard of via meetup.com. Have you heard of them?
ReplyDeleteGotta love that pig.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, the video doesn't work for me. What happens is that it loads the image of the hats instead.. as if it's linked to that jpeg.
Nice and original post, Cloudia!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday :-)
I love Priscilla and the Seattle Sea Hawks headgear. This post was a highlight of my day!
ReplyDeleteThat's some pig.
ReplyDeleteIn England once there lived a big
ReplyDeleteAnd wonderfully clever pig.
To everybody it was plain
That Piggy had a massive brain.
He worked out sums inside his head,
There was no book he hadn’t read.
He knew what made an airplane fly,
He knew how engines worked and why.
He knew all this, but in the end
One question drove him round the bend:
He simply couldn’t puzzle out
What LIFE was really all about.
What was the reason for his birth?
Why was he placed upon this earth?
His giant brain went round and round.
Alas, no answer could be found.
Till suddenly one wondrous night.
All in a flash he saw the light.
He jumped up like a ballet dancer
And yelled, “By gum, I’ve got the answer!”
“They want my bacon slice by slice
“To sell at a tremendous price!
“They want my tender juicy chops
“To put in all the butcher’s shops!
“They want my pork to make a roast
“And that’s the part’ll cost the most!
“They want my sausages in strings!
“They even want my chitterlings!
“The butcher’s shop! The carving knife!
“That is the reason for my life!”
Such thoughts as these are not designed
To give a pig great piece of mind.
Next morning, in comes Farmer Bland,
A pail of pigswill in his hand,
And piggy with a mighty roar,
Bashes the farmer to the floor…
Now comes the rather grizzly bit
So let’s not make to much of it,
Except that you must understand
That Piggy did eat Farmer Bland,
He ate him up from head to toe,
Chewing the pieces nice and slow.
It took an hour to reach the feet,
Because there was so much to eat,
And when he finished, Pig, of course,
Felt absolutely no remorse.
Slowly he scratched his brainy head
And with a little smile he said,
“I had a fairly powerful hunch
“That he might have me for his lunch.
“And so, because I feared the worst,
“I thought I’d better eat him first.”

ReplyDeleteHi Cloudia! Sweet piggy and chickens! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAnyone who has a pig AND a winged helmet has an embarrassment of riches, I'd say.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post .. thanks Ms P! Aloha to Ms C!

You folks make my day! (that's me, cloudi :)

ReplyDeleteGrin :)
ReplyDeleteI have nothing against someone having a pig as a pet, and keeping it as a pet.
ReplyDeleteBut, I confess I really like bacon...
But, then again I have not had a pet pig.
Glad you have critters like we have here in KY!
