A Myna Bird Please

A myna bird please she said with a grin.
We were all shocked. How had she wandered in?
The store had been locked by our Uncle Ben.
We sold her the bird for a dollar ten.
We were sworn to secrecy, swiftly then.
Bird belonged to crazy grandma Jen.
No one talked. Silent, all ten.
A relief for sure, no more din.

I like monorhymes but run out of steam fast.
