THE PARROT

JACK WAS SINGLE.

HE LIVED IN A SMALL FLAT,

WHICH HE SHARED

WITH A PET PARROT AND A

PIT BULL TERRIER NAMED SPIKE.

WHEN JACK'S DISHWASHING

MACHINE BROKE DOWN,

HE ASKED HIS NEIGHBOUR PET,

THE REPAIRMAN TO COME AND FIX IT.

“THE TERRIER WON'T HARM YOU,”

SAID JACK BEFORE LEAVING,

"BUT WHATEVER YOU DO,

NEVER SPEAK TO THE PARROT" 

SOON AFTER,

THE PARROT STARTED ON PET:

"I HEARD YOUR WIFE SHOUT AT

YOU THE OTHER DAY,

YOU ARE SUCH A WIMP"

PET IGNORED IT AND KEPT WORKING.

"YOU COULDN'T CHANGE YOUR

FLAT TYRE THE OTHER DAY"

SAID THE PARROT,

“SO HOW ARE YOU GOING TO

FIX A DISHWASHING MACHINE?" 

FED UP, PET REPLIED,

"OKAY. HOW WOULD I EXPECT YOU,

WITH THE BRAIN THE SIZE

OF A BEAN TO TALK ANY SENSE?" 

THAT’S IT!

SAID THE PARROT,

SPIKE, GET HIM!
