I could have kissed that cockatoo
that swallowed that unwanted shrew,
then said, "That is the end of you!"
Birds can talk? I never knew.
Unfortunately, shrews are tough,
and getting eaten's not enough
to count them out when times are rough;
that cockatoo was feeling stuff.
A zig and zagging in its gut
then horrid gas shot out its butt
its breast split open and out jut
a shrewish head from that rude cut.
The feathered corpse fell to the floor,
"That's all there is; there ain't no more."
were it's final words, not "Nevermore."
Then the shrew raised from the gore.
"Y'know I've got a little issue,"
he said while wiping dead bird tissue
from his eyes, "I kinda wish you
hadn't done that. Now I'm pished, you!"
Shrews can talk! I never knew that.
They also look like a tiny rat,
which piqued the interest of the cat,
who ate the shrew, and that was that.
Moral: Never send a cockatoo to do what a cat can do.
