"The Kookaburra" Open to all. [Winklings # 124 ]

The "Kookaburra" is a poem invented by my younger grandson who is a mere schoolboy.

 

Here is one of his:

 

. 

Hegorrific
--------------
Hereditary
Exclamation of
Goats

 

. 

 

So, the technique?  You have to write a three-line, short poem that has a three-letter word acronym. Then you are to invent a bigger word from your acronymic one and that becomes your title. [The acronym above is "Heg". The title is "Hegorrific".]

 

No more than six words; no fewer than four. You may enter as many Kookaburras as you wish.

 

Note: Your title word must be a hitherto non-existent word but yet look as if it SHOULD be a word.

 

Why is it called "The Kookaburra"? Because your readers ought to fall around chortling and laughing as the kookaburra does!

 

Note: Please read the specifications, again, when you think you have done your job! It is a new form after all and there are one or two catches.
