Pondering a Parakeet

      A parakeet is a talking bird
        He’ll repeat whatever you say

     Which, depending on your mood
        Can make or break your day

Hi Gershon, parakeets are the cutest little birds. They come in beauteous colors too. Back in the day we had a ccckatiel, or however it's spelled, not sure. She was fiesty.. after a few years of owning her, we gave her to a friend who was a bird whisperer. Funny poem, your humor shines. Have an inspirational spring day. Shalom. :)

Ha, ha. Funniest comment of the day... Most tragic too. Parakeet should be renamed Vasily Ivanov.

Those parakeets seem to prefer all the swear words.
