This reminded me of a song we used to sing a hundred years ago or so –
“Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!” (Except for some reason, we sang, “That’s not a monkey, that’s me. Ha. Ha!“
I’ve never actually HEARD the sound the Kookaburra makes, so I looked it up. (Isn’t the Internet wonderful?)
