Giovanni's Shrimp Truck

On the leisurely windward coast of Oahu,

the tents and tables of Giovanni's Shrimp Truck

are almost filled to capacity

The garlic aroma engulfs you

as you approach the inked white van,

littered with hundreds of creative comments

and vibrant signatures,

jotted down by satisfied locals and tourists.

All three choices on the handwritten menu

are mouthwatering scrumptious delights.

An affable, tanned young local

greets you with a grin,

"Watchu like?"

"Gahlik Shrimp wit' one scoop rice, please."

Soon,

after settling down,

you begin sucking all garlicky juices

out of each shrimp,

and great warmth of relaxation suffuses you,

in shade of a scorching hot, yet breezy day.
