Soakin' In the Pacific Ocean One of Pippi's favorite delites was walking on Waikiki Beach late at night to take a dip in the ocean that was nippin' at her suntan lotion. She enjoyed swimming sans her suit and should you chance to run upon her one of those nights you would say she was quite a sight, wearing the pigtails and an ear to ear smile, she made many a lonely surfer smile. When Murph wasn't around in town Pippi had a habit of flirting around, which was fine with Murph because his real love was the surf. On occasion Murph would jump into his thirty four Woody and cruise to the North Shore to ride the big waves and to pay a vist to a sexy mermaid from France named Ms L'amour. Speaking of mermaids, Pippi knew quite a few and somenights they would swim with her and some other friends that Pippi knew; like Cindy and Kimo: exactly where Kimo lived nobody seemed to know, no matter what beach you visited in Hawaii, Kimo would always show. His nickname was "surf around" and indeed he did, all over town. Cindy worked at some local clubs the live entertainment kind and her nickname was "mighty fine" and indeed she was fine. She would mostly come to the beach during the day to work on her tan but sometimes she took Sundays off so she could hang out with surfer Dan. The common attraction was the love of swimming, surfing and soakin' in the warm water of the Pacific Ocean. The water was so warm it was a blessing, almost as good as soaking in a hot tub and after a good float and soak you felt like a brand new bloak. Then it was time to eat some of the local treats, like pineapple and papaya, or mango's, coconuts and banana's and the locals favorite fish Ahi or Swordfish or Mahi Mahi. After that its time to get some sleep. and Pippi slowly falls off to sleep by counting mermaids, not sheep. JamesLee 14June 2012 |

Wow. Quite a little tale there. Love the characters... you should elaborate on them a little more. Maybe even drum up a prose piece for us. Michael |

Perhaps I take the pacific ocean for granted, or maybe it's my fear of sharks....O.o...but when I do venture out into the pacific ocean, it is wonderful. Enjoyed. -Trina |
