Many years ago we helped
A nearby family when rain
Threatened to ruin their apricots
We helped cut their fruit
Just up the road from our place
I still remember that Kookaburra's
Loud song as we worked
My friend's dad called it
A Ha-Ha Pigeon
I guess that was enough
To break through
That language barrier as we all laughed!
I imitated him: not out of rudeness
But because I liked the way
It sounded!
I thought it was very appropriate
A good name for our laughing bird
The Kookaburra!
