Bought a parrot <br />from the corner shop, <br />the salesman told me <br />it would talk, <br />but all the ruddy thing <br />can do is squawk. <br /> <br />I got it a mate, <br />thought that would help. <br />Help. Huh! <br />The ruddy thing <br />only laid me an egg. <br /> <br />Talk bird, talk <br />and pack in <br />that melodic squawk, <br />your driving me crazy <br />so talk bird talk. <br /> <br />(This bit of nonsense was written <br />in the late 1960’s exact date unknown)<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/talk-bird-talk/
