Bentley and Shadow
My friend had a beautiful bird and Bentley was his name
He was a little cockatiel and he liked to play a game
Where he'd undo a charm bracelet,throw it all around
He'd say his name so loudly then he'd make a giggling sound
She got another cockatiel,a smaller one than Bentley
"Pretty boy Bentley"he'd yell out and look at you intently
She had to name him Shadow for he was a bit confused
He mixed up his identity,his own name he refused
I never was a bird person but these two were such fun!
They'd sometimes fly around the house and have us on the run
Chatterboxes both of them they had alot to say
Like"howdy,whatcha doin',good morning" and "no way"
I tried to teach them my name but they would have none of it
They would say"hey good lookin" so I learned to rise above it!
