Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Not So Pretty Polly For Contest

My Amazon parrot is called Polly
By jingo she just won’t stop squawking
She’s totally off her trolley
And cusses at me when I’m talking

I keep her locked in a gilded cage
Just in case she tries to escape
When she flies into a vile rage
I just cover her cage with a drape!

Russell Sivey August 19, 2017 at 1:31 AM Ha ha! What a way to take care of that evil bird...just cover the cage! I surely loved reading this enlightening poem this morning (early)! I thought you created a humor that was fun and engaging! What a brilliant piece, Great Work!! Jan Allison August 19, 2017 at 3:00 AM When i was young I had a friend with a pet parrot and it's based on that story - the only way to shut it up was to put the cover over it so they thought it was night time lol:-) hugs jan x
