The Kauai Chicken Story

I have been trying to clean out my stuff, but instead I keep finding treasures! Here is a poem I wrote in 2003 in response to the common question I kept receiving at Banana Joe's, "Where did all these chickens  on Kauai come from?"

                                               The Kauai Chicken Story

In the beginning, on the first day
The rooster had sex with the hen
And the rooster crowed and
The hen bru braacked!
And GOD said, "THAT WAS GOOD!"

Then on the third day
The rooster crowed and
The hen bru bru braaacked and
Behold! Seven eggs were laid
And GOD said, "UH, OH!"

So on the seventh day
When any sane GOD should be resting
The rooster crowed and
The hen bru bru bru braaacked and
Behold! The seven eggs hatched!
And GOD said, "AREN'T THEY CUTE!"

Then GOD said,
"LET US DECLARE CHICKENS AN
ENDANGERED SPECIES ON KAUAI AND
LET US OUTLAW MONGOOSE ON KAUAI AND
LET US DECLARE A LEASH LAW FOR DOGS ON KAUAI."
And the rooster crowed, and the hen bru bru braacked and
The baby chicks peep peep peep peep peep peep peep peeped and
Then GOD added, "LET US FORCE ALL HUMANS TO ONLY EAT
TOFU CHICKEN"

And the rooster crowed and
The hen bru bru bru bru braaacked
And the baby chicks grew up.
Then the baby rooster had sex with the baby hen
And the baby rooster crowed and
The baby hen bru braacked!
And GOD said, "AH, THAT WAS GOOD!" Again and
               Again............and
                         Again.............and
                                                                    Again..............and
                                                                          Again.

So that is my answer to that question! Hehe!

JustLupita artwork getting started!



I have neglected this blog far too long! I have since retired from Banana Joe's, just two weeks ago, thus enabling me to concentrate on my art work and providing more product such as my hand painted shirts and hats for Banana Joe's. That is just a fraction of the art work I intend to produce, so perhaps I will blog about what I do produce each week. Sooooo, the first week I caught up on Banana Joe shirts, and this second week I have been painting baby surfer rompers and T-shirts for Kokonut Kids in Hanalei. Oh yes, I also did hats for I (heart) Hanalei, a bikini and dress store. I have started a new web page to show case the work I have done, JustLupita.BackdoorKauai.com. I intend to continue to work on updating this also. You are welcome to visit my site often!
