Yoo-Hoo!
Here I come, yoo-hoo-hoo!
Your beloved cockatoo
Oh yeah, screech I do
For I love you, yes I do
Away, away with you
Cheeky, screeching cockatoo!
Shoo and shoo and shoo!
Yeah, I loved you too
Before the bite you took
With your blasted beak, like a hook
(You don’t seem to need a cook!)
Out of my poor table that it shook
With searing horror and in pain
To be thus sliced and slain
Now exposing wounded grain
Depart at once, you pesky pest
NO, I’m not saying it in jest
NO, I’m no more impressed
By your splendid sulphur crest
You’re no more a welcome guest!
Shoo, shoo, shoo!
BOO to you!

I wanted to pet a friend’s cockatoo and he took a nibble. Not fun. 😦
Cute poem. 🙂
Not fun at all! I knew about their bad behaviour but just couldn’t resist feeding them, they’re so funny and intelligent. It broke my heart I had to end our friendship. Glad to hear you liked the poem. 🙂
Proves you know Cockatoos
Do I know them! 🙂 One of them even bit me on the arm!
