Pasha’s Parrot

Khalid Mukhtar · February 11, 2016 · Leave a Comment

The featherbrained Pasha of Ghaali
Adopted a parrot named Polly.
He taught her times tables and hundreds of fables
Until in a moment of unguarded folly,
She flew through the stables in manner so jolly
And squawked of her hate for the Pasha of Ghaali.

It was the last thing that she said,
The next day, poor Polly was dead.
