The Kookaburra Laughs

The kookaburra laughs as the soft shine of the sun is exposed.
I cover my ears with my blanket.
Annoyed by the laughs.
The sun rises even more.
Filling my room with bright light.
I don’t want to get up.
Not today, just today.
The kookaburra laughs, again.
I cover my ears with my pillow, annoyed.
Groups of kookaburras keep laughing.
The more they laugh.
The more annoyed I am.
The kookaburras laugh, again.
Like they know I feel annoyed.
As the sun reaches its final angle.
The kookaburras fly away.
As if they never came to visit.
