Long Psychic Parrot Poem
I have a psychic parrot
Prescilla is her name
Her so called premonitions
Have brought me wealth and fame
The people come to see her
And for a modest price
She listens to their problems
And offers them advice.
"Beware a tall dark stranger,
Romance is on its way,
You need to see a doctor,
Today's your lucky day,
Be careful what you wish for,
Don't be afraid to try,
You heading for disaster,
Just spread your wings and fly,"
She squawks these out at random
It's all that she can do
And whether they are relevant
She doesn't have a clue,
She isn't really psychic
She's just a bloody bird
And as for the predictions
I taught her every word.
Yet people keep on coming
And keep on being had
They must be bloody mental
They must be bloody mad,
But I am not complaining
Oh no no no no no
I'm making lots of money
And long may it be so.

Witty and rhythmic - a very appealing combination.
