Our pretty budgies love to chatter <br />Oh how they love a little natter <br />It's no good asking for some peace <br />They keep on talking, never cease <br /> <br />Maybe they're saying their name in Latin <br />Melopsittacus undulates, they' are chanting <br />Or possibly how hot's the weather <br />And wonderfully cooling, to fluff their feathers <br /> <br />They may be talking of the crow outside <br />And laughing at his big backside <br />Or simply rejoicing at being alive <br />To wake up cheery at half past five <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2005)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-budgies-humour/
