Old Lady and Bird

There was an old lady, I heard
Who talked every day to her bird.
To get him to speak,
She twisted his beak
And taught him a very bad word.

This is great, Joyce. I'm wondering which bad word she taught the bird. LOL Thanks for your suggestion on how to approach the "syllable" contest. It was a big help. Love, Carolyn
