Don't Worry, Be Happy

I am a fearless Kiskadee
Sitting on a branch of this tree
Singing my theme song happily
With a Kis Ka Dee Kis Ka Dee

I sing my song very sweetly
Seeking to make others happy
Filling them with ecstasy
With its rhythm and melody

My message is not to worry
Despite how things in life may be
Don't let them make you feel crazy
At all times, strive to be happy

One can state things that are likely
But no one knows what things will be
So keep your chin up cheerfully
And sing Kis Ka Dee Kis Ka Dee.

About this poem:
The Great Kiskadee (Pitangus Sulpharatus) is indigenous to Central and South America, the Caribbean and Southern Texas.

I have added two more videos.
One actually shows a kiskadee in action singing his song.
The other gives an audio of one kiskadee calling and another kiskadee answering.

Socrates...He/she really does say its name!..grin.Never have noticed in bird books but it looks like member of flycatcher family. We have a bird that looks like this called kingbird around in Midwest...it has learned to be friends with gardeners who stir up the lawn or garden...bugs galore for dinner! Enjoyed your poem!...Avias

Yes, the kiskadee is a member of the flycatcher family.
