One Kooka Short Of A Barbecue - The Kookaburra Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Cook-a-bite under the old gum tree,
See your steak go winging free
Laugh Kookaburra laugh -
Bang another snag on the old barbie


Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Casing all the lamb chops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop
Leave some there for me


Barbie-robber sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the burgers - one two three
Stop, robber-cobber! Stop
That’s a mockery - that’s mi tea.

Kookaburra lands on the old barbie
Merry, merry, merry little bird is he
Singe, Kookaburra! Singe
Singe your butt - beauty!
