The Meaning of Cuculine


Cuculine


I have a clock that tells the time
Through a certain cuculine
Creature on the hour right on cue,

It pops out suddenly on springs
And lets me know each time he sings
The only song he knows that goes "cuckoo"!

The Meaning of Buteonine



Buteonine

Once whilst on a mighty hike
I saw some birds I did not like
Circling above me in the sky,

All of them buteonine,
Buzzards hungry and inclined,
To eat me if I just happened to die!

The Meaning of Vaal



Vaal

If you travel through the land
South Africa there is a grand
River there that might be nice to see,

Called the Vaal a word that's Dutch
So meaning drab and dull or such
But only in colour apparently.
