  • Aloha, It's Jason Poole and today I am singing in beautiful Halawa Valley on the island of Molokai, Hawaii.

  • This is a song that I wrote for the graduating class CZT#17 and this is the Zentangle Hula.

  • It goes something like this.

  • [Ukulele Playing ] It's been a rough day, I'm grumpy and I'm tired,

  • and my to do list is at least 3 pages long

  • But, I know of a way To help me feel inspired

  • And I remind myself by singing this little song.

  • Zentangle Hula, Zentangle Hula

  • It's all the rage

  • folks can do it at any age, oh

  • Zentangle Hula, Here's the golden rule-ah

  • Let your pen dance

  • and tangle your troubles away.

  • Grab a tile and a pencil

  • and take a deep breath in, so you'll be grounded in the here and now

  • Draw a dot in each corner,

  • and lightly sketch your borders and get ready to WOW

  • Cause it's time to draw your string

  • to make your tile swing

  • and that's how your piece will grow

  • Now trade your pencil for a pen

  • Breathe out and in again

  • cause it's time to start the show

  • Zentangle Hula, Zentangle Hula,

  • It's all the rage, folks can do it at any age, oh

  • Zentangle Hula, here's the golden rule-ah

  • Let your pen dance

  • and tangle your troubles away

  • With lots of warm affection

  • It's time to fill each section with the tangles that rock your socks

  • Like Hollibaugh and Crescent Moon

  • Flux, Tortuca and Festune

  • and don't forget Rick's paradox.

  • With one stroke at a time, you draw each line

  • and turn your tile this way and that.

  • Add some shading bits of gray

  • be grateful for the day

  • and don't forget to sign the back

  • Oh, Zentangle Hula, Zentangle Hula

  • It's all the rage, folks can do it any age, Oh

  • Zentangle Hula, here's the golden Rule-ah

  • Let your pen dance

  • And tangle your troubles away

  • Oh, let your pen dance

  • And tangle your troubles away

  • YEE-HA

Aloha, It's Jason Poole and today I am singing in beautiful Halawa Valley on the island of Molokai, Hawaii.
