Bawdy Parrot Takes Over Zoom

Let’s have a family powwow on zoom. That way we’ll get to see the new bride and groom. Six households were ready to teleconference that day. A dancing parrot with a nasty mouth kind of got in the way. We had no idea this spoiled bird would be along. He wore a pirate hat and sang an awfully bawdy song. The kids thought groom’s bird was hilarious, laughed their tongues out. What did he say? Grandpa asked, with an enormously loud shout. The bride was embarrassed by her new husband’s nasty pet. She said “put him away!” but Grandma Garland yelled “Not quite yet!” Grandpa's not been interested in anything new since nineteen sixty-three. A unanimous vote from the rest of us said “let the bawdy parrot be.”
