The Koel Bird

In nature, there lived a koel bird
Who absolutely hated to be stirred
She would sleep and sleep like no other
And did nothing in her slumber
But if you wake her up beware
You would get a terrible scare
She would fly around and squawk so loud
I will destroy anyone who wakes me she vowed
So when a caterpillar crawled on her back
She awoke from her slumber and gave it a big whack
It fell past the branches and landed in a bush
And is now known as caterpillar smoosh
The Koel bird, already awake, reluctantly stretched its wings
Flew away, and encountered many unusual things
A yellow beast with spots all over
Then she laughed, oh what a joker
Then she realized, this beast looked hungry
And before she knew it, she was in the great beast's tummy
