Cuckoo
I said stop it 
you cheap thing
at the sky   to the Koel baby 
lummox  clambering up the branch
cough-laughing  like the penguin
in Adam West’s Batman  
above him the Wattlebird mother
flitting    wondering how
big mouth came to strike again
 
that damned koel again
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen the fat thing. Seriously.

ReplyDeletefeed it to the kookas
But that bird can sing.
ReplyDeleteit shits me to tears
