Chatting With A Myna Bird

I can't think of anything more absurd Than chatting with a haughty myna bird He will outwit me by far Since he's wiser than I are He must think I am an ignorant nerd

Ha. Did you use bad grammar on purpose to achieve the last lines effect? Great thinking.

It is useless to chat with a myna bird…lol! I love the rendition of “The 12 Days of Christmas,” Hawaii Style. …a myna bird in a papaya tree…
