Oh Kookaburra,
You fill my life with joy
Your giggle is music, soaring to my ears
I smile
Cyan, violet, mud brown feathers
Fly past my face
Feathers tickling my cheeks
I fall in love
Your eyes dazzle Australia
A light sparkles the night
You get ill,
I wake to the cries of you
I freeze, I'm ice
Shiver of pain
l see your eyes darken and twitch
One tear makes me harden
Why have you fallen
Kookaburra,
Kookabura you lived a long life
Oh Kookaburra
