     "  The measure if a man"

        Tonga nashed his tribal teeth

         Declaring war on the other feeth

        Beliefs , he said, should be same as mine

          So all y'all tikis , watch your behind.  So...

          If you wear ceremonial mask

          Or drink the sap from the woo woo flask

           Or show your teeth and make scary noise

         Then you are one of us "tribal boys"..

          But all y'all others, you must go

         We don't put up with saying no

          Conforming is the smartest route

          When you argue I consider it mute.

            And just about that very time

             The eldest tiki delivered his line

            His very last truth, his very strong phrase

            As he counted down years and months and days. 

             He said " nashing teeth and tribal mask,

            Berry flavor in a woohoo flask , none of these things

             Matter a bit,  what's really important is how far you can spit.

             And he won hands down cuz everybody knew 

              That your spitting distance is the measure of you

                All other measure  is considered a farce

                 Except the one bout " hung like a horse".
