My Mother told me tales
Of the Laughing Kookaburras
How they would Wake her in the Mornings
With their Crazy Laughter
How all the kids would Run to Play
To join their happy voices to the morning Fray
Laughing Competitions would Ensue
Who could Laugh the Longest
Or the Whole Day through
The Kookaburras always won
Laughing from Morn to Night
However Happy the Kids might be
They soon gave up the Fight
Kookaburras just Love to Laugh
They see the Funny Side of Life
As it Slides on By
They Simply Enjoy the Ride
Landing on a Handy Pole or Tree
They Let Loose their Mirth
And I Challenge you to stand on by
And Not be Moved to Laugh
So Kookaburras are a Funny Mob
I Love to Hear one or More near by
And when I do I recall my Mum
And her Tales of how she would have Loved
To come Home to this Land of Oz
To have Heard the Kookaburras
One more Time
That was Indeed her Dream
So now I listen out for her
And Drink a Glass of Wine
As the Kookaburras fall to Sleeping
Until the Next Mornings
Laughing Time
