The Sailor's Parrot Began To Cough. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The Sailor's Parrot Began To Cough.

Rating: 5.0


A mariner had a sweet parrot.
He used to smoke cigars
and liked to pump out white smoke.
He enjoyed smoking.

One fine morning
the parrot began to cough.
Coughing became severe.

So the captain took it
to theVeterinary doctor.

The doctor tested it:
„Your parrot does not suffer from
psittacosis or pulmonary inflammation.

It is only imitating your cough".

Self-discovery.

Hajahahahahahahahaha. I had to read this poem! I could not bypass a title like this! And it was a wise and rewarding decision! ! ! ! Loved the twist at the end - -especially since I was dreading hearing it was to die of cancer or something. Your point was better made with this humor, good job tony
