/// Three refined señoritas are shocked
by the language The Rude Parrot talked.
The fourth lady rejoices
that he can’t copy voices.
It was her dirty words the bird squawked!
/// The smug man by the clock can’t resist
bringing parties to life with a twist.
When the bird moves its beak,
that’s when he makes it “speak”
with his skill as a ventriloquist.
/// They heard words that the bird did emit
when the jokester ventriloquist quit.
Then the guests were subdued
when the parrot, still rude,
named the date of each person’s obit.
/// Brought to Spain by a sailor (Brazilian),
this trained parrot was one in a million.
He could curse in Chinese,
and, of course Portuguese,
and thing thmutty thongth in Cathtilian.
/// Trained to speak by a sadist food snob
the bird told how to cook shish kebab.
But the menu he trilled
at last got the bird killed.
He said, “Substitute parrot for squab.”
