The Cat and the Parrot

The cat and the parrot – they work in cahoots…

One screams the orders and one wears the boots.

“About turn!” Polly yells, “Ten push-ups in the flowers…”

Felix loves this silly game – they play for hours and hours.

Up the path and through the door,

Muddy footprints on the floor.

Up the banisters, down the stairs,

Hats and coats fly everywhere!

Swing from lampshades, scale the walls,

Throw clementines like rugby balls!

Turn the taps on, take a drink,

Go swimming in the kitchen sink!

“Final task, now!” Polly shouts,

“Army crawl across the couch!”

Then off they sneak, without a sound,

With chaos scattered all around!

Yes…

The cat and the parrot – they work in cahoots,

But the CAT gives the orders… the BIRD wears the boots!
