Cianán
St. Cianán (died 24 November 489) was a Bishop of Duleek in Ireland. He was descended from the royal blood of the kings of Munster.
Life
He was a pupil of the monk Nathan. As a youth, he was one of the fifty hostages whom the princes of Ireland gave to king Lóegaire mac Néill, by whom he was set free at the intercession of Bishop Kieran. He then went into Gaul, and passed some time at Tours in the monastery of St. Martin.
Returning to his native country, he converted great numbers to Christianity in Connacht. Then he went to Leinster, and founded a church in a place called to this day the Wood of Cianán. At length he went into the territory of Owen (Tír Eoghain), who was his mother Eithne's uncle. There he broke down a pagan altar and an idol and on the place built a Christian church. According to manuscripts extant in manuscript in the library at Cambridge, Cianán built here a church of stone, on that account called Damliag, corrupted into Duleek. It was the site of the first stone church in Ireland. He died on the 24th of November, in 489.

Fish And Poi
by: Sean Na'auaoVerse 1:
I've been many places, tasted all the flavors
If there's one thing I can't understand, it's why I'm never satisfied
There's nothing like the feeling, when you start craving
Flashbacks reminiscing about that one very first luau
Bridge:
Soon as I start to head back home
I call my bruddahs up on the phone
We're heading down to that special place
Where you can bulk up for days
Chorus:
I like my fish and poi, I'm a big boy
Lomi salmon, pipikaula, extra large lilikoi
Squid or chicken lu'au, don't forget the laulau
Beef or trip stew just to name a few, oh yeah

Can't forget Papa's specialty
