Oh -ho, the
Australian lad dressed in red
Ferlinghetti, beard on his head

Oh -ho, the green frog that
sun shining we've seen
Oh -ho,

The bottle sits down on the floor by his feet
Pall
Mall cigarette
sand is still wet
Mabenga sits on the low sea
for you and for me
the round kava bowl
tasting the island's strange soul

rocks clank in the dust
what green peak we pass,
Down there the
