Sparkle

I had a green parakeet and Sparkle was his name. When he died thirty-five years ago, it was a shame. On the last day of April, I found him dead in his cage. I bought him in 1981 and he died of old age. My one parakeet outlived three blue parakeets that belonged to my mother. Sparkle was my one and only parakeet, when he died, I did not buy another. I owned my parakeet for over nine years and he was a great pet. He died 35 years ago today and he was a bird who I'll never forget. (Dedicated to Sparkle who died 35 years ago today on April 30, 1990)
