A parrot repeating what’s heard
Really was all fun
Till it heard a gun
Mimicking sounds so disturbed

A man in a black patch is yar
And parrots make good mates by gar
With an optional hook
And a dastardly look
Any pirate is bound to go far

There was a young man from Tarrot,
Who fed his green bird some carrot,
It preferred it to seed
When it came time to feed,
Now he has a bright orange parrot.

My peripatetic parrot went to sea
  where he met a perspicacious chickadee

He courted her a bit too parsimoniously
  For this peccadillo, she ensured he couldn't pee

Parrot pandemonium camouflage under fading flowers
I've witnessed seasonal cycles. Is the deep calling me?

The bird’s voice still sounds charming,
Though caged, it never stops dreaming.
As human language it once understood,
It has lost freedom of living in the wood.

Premium Member A Mexican Parrot

A Mexican parrot clever and wise
escaped his dreadful cage in Van Nuys
He flew out of the Valley
back to old Mexicali
singing: Hasta la vista, you guys!

My parrot made me want to smack her

With all that noise the deaf could track her

I was hoping she'd talk

But all she did was squawk

So now she's Polly on a cracker

He Is a Typical Goth

Thought the parrot, looked at the crow.
"Gay" - the crow thought, looked at the parrot ...
That why he looked such gaily, aberrant.

Ideology Human Alienation

Ideology
penetrates the skull...
alien missile,
strange...
Is a parrot that repeats 
voices of yesteryear
to muster herd...
Strong lie
to form minions
to lick boots
of rogues, humans...

The Seed Scatterer

Ever since my parrot Greeny lost his beautiful companion,
he hardly warbled and sit in his cage to mourn;
his sad song indicated how lonely he was...
what or who could cheer him up for his loss?
