A kibitzy klepto keeked like a kakapo at a kerfy knotholey kist that kept knickknacks made from kidskin and krimmer in it. His knockoff kiths were knackered of the kookie knucklehead's kleptomaniacism- kudos to them!

As twilight draped the wooded scene,
And the moon prepared to cast its gleam,
The sun dipped low, beyond the land,
And day surrendered to night's command.
In that tranquil hour, I paused to hear,
The melodies of birds, so sweet and clear.
The trees whispered secrets to the breeze,
As reptiles slithered home, with quiet ease.
All creatures of the wild sought their reprieve,
Save for one, in yellow-green plumage, he grieved.
Alone he stood, a sight so rare,
A flightless parrot, with a desperate prayer.
"Hey, humankind," he whispered soft,
"I am the last of my kind, the world has lost.
Save me from the struggles of this jungle's plight,
My name is Kakapo, a guardian of the night.
I need your aid, your heart to share,
For in your hands, my fate's declared.
Together, we can ensure my legacy,
Preserving the magic of the enchanted tree."
Humbled by his plea, I vowed to stand,
Beside the Kakapo, our fates now planned.
In unity, we'll fight to save his kind,
Protecting the wonders of the forest, intertwined.

A STORMY DAY IN THE SOUTHERN ALPS
An environmentalist in love with his endowment, cast an eye upon the defender
of nature’s delicate balance, she the soul queen of conservation, together the two assimilate like the prevailing hurricane lock horns as the beast would in battle.The vibration rattles the old tin roof of our cabin, while the black possums scarper
clouds ejaculate
far below blank out the sun
Aoraki smiles
The tempest cuts through the backwoods far beyond the horizon, deep
in camouflage torments the deanery of elementary life forms. Flashes
of lightning waver through the gloom become centre stage, thunder
rumbles on, a drum roll an intro to a symphony of hail harmoniously
pounding the diverse depth of the valley
drowning in colour
the forest canopy yields
Kakapo declines

Have you heard of the Kakapo?
A Kakapo … I guess the answer’s no!
Kakapo’s are a breed of parrot but they cannot fly
They are far too heavy and would fall from the sky!
Kakapo’s can live for a hundred years…
A hundred years – I couldn’t believe my ears
It may sound strange yes even quite absurd
But I’ve fallen in love with this cute rare bird

There once was a recent true garden of eden not too long ago.
It wasn't inhabited with people. It was inhabited by the Kakapo.
They had no natural enemies in their garden of eden,
no predators to stalk these docile flightless birds always land dwelling
so they never evolved to sense and flee from any danger
because danger never existed in the Kakapo garden. Danger was a stranger.
These docile living creatures maybe
actually experienced a life of true blissful serenity.
Their heaven on earth, so to speak.
The humans arrived and settled bringing pets/predators with them
as well as much of the many variety of predatory vermin
and so now the Kakapo has lost it's true garden of eden.
Why? Why else? Because of humans.
They're an endangered specie also and that's truly an unforgivable sin.
We suposedly had once our true garden of eden
and I gues our attitude now is, "If we can't have ours back, well then neither wil anything."

Oh, oh Kakapo
You are the world's rarest
Dweller on the ground- Ancient parrot
Your tinged emerald hue is the fairest,
The greatest respect you merit.
Oh, oh Kakapo
Magnificent New Zealand you are from
Never had an enemy,
Until the humans did come
Bringing the ship's rats
and the scary cats
When the Europeans arrived
You had no chance to survive
Oh,oh Kakapo
In your island country
There were hundreds of thousands
of you
Committed to a small jail cell
There now survives so very few.
*Dedicated to one of the most amazing, and rarest
birds in the world, the Kakapo from New Zealand.
62 are currently left in existence.
