Yellow Canaries - Males for Sale in Perth Amboy, New Jersey Classified ...

There was a carney, I knew as Larry. He lived with a knife thrower, named Sherry. Sherry loved her yellow canary, and trusted its care while gone to Larry. While she was gone, the bird somehow got free. He looked everywhere, where could that bird be? His eyes looked up as he dropped to one knee, and prayed for help to find the canary. “I’m headed home”, was the text from Sherry. The thoughts of her rage were very scary. He turned to see a smile, she seemed merry, from off his hat, she took her canary.

well, that's one mischievous canary. I'm glad he hadn't escaped. One needs his canary, right? :-)

I guess so, let me ask my cat. The cat says, " oh yow, we all need a canary for Christmas lunch." Smiles ~ Blessings Bill
