green parrot on a yellow swing

The parrot is a thief.

 

No word

 

Is safe in earshot

 

Of that bird.

 

 

 

He picks it up.

 

He turns it round.

 

He croaks.

 

He tries it out for sound

 

 

 

And then he says it,

 

Loud and clear,

 

And all the neighbours

 

Know you swear.
