The Kookaburra

Laughing,

Chuckling throughout the trees.

As he flies around the cool winter breeze,

But wow, does it without one single sneeze?

We try it, but just give out a wheeze.

He flies, rapidly like a bat, 

With a feathery coat that makes him look fat.

For the whole day, he never sat. 

He does this, to win a rat,

He does it like a stealthy cat, 

But not one that sits on a mat.

He is not the normal house pet,

If you keep him, expect a trip to the vet.

Before you feed him, let his dinner set, 

In the process, he thinks about what he will get.

You shouldn’t get one yet,

If you do, your floors will get wet.

He thinks about everyone he’s met

As hunters catch him in a net. 

Yeah, he’s a one way ticket to the vet.
