Wake-up Call, (Australia)

Four birds
They have new visitors,
yes and I’ve seen them
wwwwooooooowwwwww!
ploink!
You sound like a dripping tap,
we all think this too but for differing reasons
and by 8 o’clock we are no longer news.
It’s Sunday, cedar fresh like last night’s welcome pinot noir
as bright sun ambles through to clean up the storm.
The fallen jackoranda blossom needs a brush
kookaburra and cockatoo natter and squabble
the day is here, the rest is gone
