Snarky Scrappy Parrot

It’s not the pirate queen we fear
nor the father pirate king
but have you met their parrot?
He is the snarkiest, meanest thing

Scrappy and short, but ready to fight
He has torn up a cat or two, he has some might
One time they docked near another clipper ship
That pirate did not hesitate to use a bull whip

He is the meanest creature on the seven seas.
I would rather jump into a wolf den, breaking both my knees.
So, he is rather terrible? The listener asked, in one way or another.
Oh, yes, the speaker said. I know because he is my little brother.
