4th of July Weekend Sailing

                                      
aloha poets,
                       Sailing in bright sun off Waikiki. Enjoy!

Ancient Chinese Delicacy Shark Fin Soup Outlawed in Hawaii: '1st Time Ever'

Heinous shark finning at long last banned
A world leader now this Hawaiian land
Ocean beach frolics, frisbees, a hula hoop
Beach volleyball with no shark fin soup

Soup delicacy thousands of years so blind
Hawaii State law a first, one of a kind
Possession, distribution, trade, or sale
Of a shark fin, take a year in  jail

$5,000 fine for a first time offender
Multiple offense, $50,000 legal tender
Educational research?..get an exemption
Give sharks a break, a little redemption

Taken off the menu Hawaiian soup Chinese
Use up your stock take it out of deep freeze
One year from now, a delicacy no more
After thousands of years close the door

Shark fin soup soon a thing of the past
July 1, 2011, Hawaii sees its last
Heinous fishing method called shark 'finning'
China join us now, let's get everybody winning
