Do You Like Cockatoos? Poem by Konstantin Ananin

- The cockatoo can steal...
_____________________- And learn
How to sing any bird's song.
- One is sitting on our roof, look.
- Ah, I know it, a real crook!
- This one has learnt our pet's voices.
- And has stolen my and your watches!
- It's sung five times tonight.
- But before it stole the pen I liked.
- Gosh! When I heard it, I thought
I was in England with my Maude.
It is the greatest master!
It sang like my dog Arthur!
- Ha! Your dog sings, doesn't he?
- He learnt two years ago, believe me!
