If you look out of your car
you'll see them - waving hair and
burning wings - on caracara
there's flying by: a capybara

There's a lyrical simplicity about this, and the echoing syllables of 'cara-cara' evoke a kind of exotic, tropical birdsong - I'm just little perplexed as to where the capybara comes into it (unless we are drving through a zoo)


and is 'off' in L1 a typo (shouldn't it be 'of')?

yes, it was a typo, thank you ;)

it should have been a bit exotic... a bit crazy and unbelievable
thank you for your comment!

which took me to:

car cara,
bar bara...
arac rac -
arab rab!

and to more, but I don't want to sound a chatterbox! :smile5:


But seriously, I like how you play with sounds, unbelievable as they phrase an exotic situation!! kudos.
brings to mind children song refrain:

En-den-dino,
sof al hakatino,
sof al hakati kato,
elik belik bom.
(by Yaffa Yarkoni)

Very best regards, enjoyed! Bar!

En-den-dino,
sof al hakatino,
sof al hakati kato,

this is very similar to the Czech
