Laugh Kookaburra
Snake hunting bird in silent trance
Iconic outline on the branch
As daybreak dies, with laughter, quiet
You quell your deadly appetite
Your searching eye from tilted head
Has spied a rocky sun-warmed bed
A silent slither from the grass
A wary reptile dares to pass
And you bark brown, have flown away
For gumtops high to eat your prey
You laugh - as if you laugh at fate
It's true - considering what you ate.
