Parakeets are definitely not doing well in my posts.

Hi Bill. I think I like this theme the best so far (birds). Your rhyming and humor in this one is outstanding. Clever second line in this well written piece. The birds are gorgeous. Marilyn

Well, shame on you! Were these the ones that shat on the girl's shoulder? Excellent rhyme, and the last line is "killer." Kind of in the spirit of a limerick. You get across Uncle Joe's anger. Sounds like this was a kid who did the misdeed. Maybe he has it in for parakeets. judi

You're quite welcome. Don't shoot your eye out while you're shooting at parakeets! judi

Funny. The last line took me by surprise.
"pair o' keet" (sounds like something Pons would say.

Alliteration with "s" sound and red and rage.

Oh, dear, Bill, I loved this one. It's cruel I know, but I couldn't help laughing. Your sense of humour is wicked and I love to read when it unfolds. All the best. Ulla;))

Uh, Ned, you could have at least released them to give them a flying chance, or is your aim so bad that that was the only chance you had. That is just as sad as shooting fish in a barrel. I will bet that that will be your next venture. Sad, sad, sad. And this from a former sniper.

LOL, I know I shouldn't laugh, but that's funny. Your wit is unparalleled, Bill.

Aw poor parakeets. Now who is going to chatter all night long?

Great job!

What was it inclement weather
made you hunt for indoor feather?
What a mess you must have strewn!
Next time wait to hunt til June!

Thank you for the review
you know I never knew
that shooting them was bad
and made some people mad

OK Bill, that is a good way of writing and making people smile. Though I must say those "pair o' keet" sure didn't smile since you ruffled their tail-feathers. Thank you my friend for making me smile.

They got sent off alright. Just kidding. No obnoxious birds were hurt in the writing of this poem.
