There is a parrot established next
Door full of ill-taught squawks.
He watched me with one eye
As I raked leaves. He has an
Aviary up against our common
Fence, joining family dogs who
Paid him little mind, except
The smallest and most
Alarmed who found a hole
And squirmed through into
Our yard where Jessica waited.
Seeing her he screeched and
She in delight chased him
In terrified circles round about.
The neighbor hearing
Called him through the
Hole and back in his yard,
With apologies. Jessica
Pleased and panting watched
Him go. The parrot squawked
Amusement and sneered contempt.
