Little Bird Versus Big Bird

My son has a cute little Cockatiel
That doesn’t say a word.
But when I look in its eyes,
I can only surmise
That it’d like to take on Big Bird.

I wondered what could be the reason
For facing this huge deed?
It’d say, “Why should only puppets,
And rather large Muppets
Get to eat all the Sesame Street seed?”

G'day David... yeah why do they? I've got to tell you David, I have seen cockatiels in the arid country. Crikey they can fly quick, so don't let your son get talked into; by the cockatiel to collect its own sesame seeds... that's right; it doesn't speak - thank you David - Lindsay
