Panda and I got to attend the Hale Koa luau while we were in Waikiki, and as the night got underway, we were entertained by this guy climbing a coconut tree.
First he climbed up:

Then he talked about jumping from tree to tree and asked us if we wanted to see:

And finally he came down while trying not to flash anyone:

This reminds me of a song I learned in 5th grade for select choir…
Mama says no play, this is a work day
Up with the bright sun, get all the work done
If you will help me, climb up the tall tree
Shake the papaya down
Shake them down, shake them down
Climb the tall tree shake them down
Shake them down, shake them down
Shake the papaya down
I love papaya, yes I do
Juicy papaya, yes I do
If you will help me I’ll help you
Shake the papaya down
