The Green Cockatoo - 1946

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 29 Sept 2001

Don Pedro The Green Cockatoo,
a very tough cockatoo who,
had plumage so gaudy,
but language most bawdy
and lived in a cage at the zoo.
Don Pedro the green cockatoo
would wink and say:
"How do you do!"
then as you were staring,
he'd start with his swearing:
extremely unseemly to do.
But love came one day,
in its wonderful way,
to Don Pedro the green cockatoo,
a young lady lovebird,
as sweet as a dove,
heard the reprobate's hullaballoo.
With her wing she'd hidden her head
as she's bidden in
'what a young lovebird should do.'
Don Pedro was smitten,
with love he was bitten,
and started that day to reform.
Now when you are staring,
he's no longer swearing;
politely says: "Frightfully warm."
The reason is plain, but it's true,
he's recently murmured: "I do,"
and now they're both happy,
he'll soon be a 'pappy,'
Don Pedro the Green Cockatoo.
