After being invited to a Kookaburra-calling-contest
and playing th’ role to the best of limited ability, it’s
quite clear the three birds involved had set me up;
maybe Podge had uttered something they’d taken
exception to, he’s snarked barking furiously under
the tree they use for their conferences, while they
are flying raucous circuits and jeering at me; okay
I reply in th’ local parlance, like haw hey-hey haw
That’s when they fly away & there’s a little giggle
in the air as if, well - he’s not worth the effort, eh!
So I’m left with the supposition they’d ‘set’ me up
while Podge played the patsy - intriguing as it is I
will stay neutral as long as th’ noise abates when
the sun sets - after that it’s the B&W* revenge
