Polly Parrot Predicament

Polly had a parrot, but alas is no more

Found dead as a dodo on the kitchen floor

She buried him in the garden, embalmed in ginger beer

Marking  the spot with a cross, ‘Beaky Blinders lies here.’

Polly  is bereft and takes the  29 bus

Into the town centre  to visit Pets 'R' Us

Another parrot, she will have to buy

Or her husband, Denis, will start to cry 

She arrived at Pets 'R' Us shaking like a leaf

Thinking of old Beaky, still full of grief

She asked the shopkeeper, "Any parrots for sale?"

We have just one, but it comes with a  tale

This bird was raised in a brothel for the past 20 years.

His talk is rich, so you may have to cover your ears

“I am not bothered, he's mine, shove him my bag

Sorry I have to go - dying for a fag”

She brought him home, and out of the bag, he came 

And settled quickly into his new gold-plated frame

The parrot squawked out, "New bawdy house, new madam, nicey,nicey

Then, her three daughters rushed in. “New girls for the pundits, pricey, pricey

But then came the moment unexpected and bold

In walked her husband Denis with a smile to behold

Suddenly, the parrot screeched out with obvious delight

“Hi Denis, the madam has some new girls for you tonight”
