Is There Life After Retirement?

So in one of my side hustles, I help a dear Maui friend write her monthly business newsletter. December is, by far, our favorite month to play with it, due to the opportunity to “repurpose” traditional holiday songs. So … sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells,” I give you –

I Found Shells!                

Dashing through the sand

on a Valley Isle beach day

O’er the waves we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on poi dogs ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to surf and sing a

Maui song tonight

O-OH! 

I found shells, puka shells

Treasures every day

Oh what fun it is do Ka’anapali Beach this way

O-OH! 

I found shells, puka shells

Treasures every day

Oh what fun it is do Ka’anapali Beach this way

A day or two ago

I took a kayak ride

And soon my pup name Kai

Was seated by my side.

The boat was lean and lank

Misfortune seemed its lot

We steered into a big ol’ wave

And then we got upsot

O-OH!

We found shells, puka shells

Treasures every day

Oh what fun it is do Ka’anapali Beach this way

I found shells, puka shells

More treasures every day

Oh what fun it is do Ka’anapali Beach this way
