Childhood Memory

KooKooBurra-Boo-@333too3 on X

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?)
