A Parrot's Regret



There once was a selfish parrot given a cracker but would not share it.
A jealous cat bit its wing and now all the bird sings
is, “Feed the kitty or you will regret it.”

Smart parrot, that one. Lear is such fun to read, and to write! I enjoyed this, Susie.

Well done! The choice of images to use was surreal...love the one you chose and how you managed to write in his style.

Never refuse to share your treats in this world, no matter who you are. ;_) Loved it, Susie.
