    /// Three refined señoritas are shocked

    by the language The Rude Parrot talked.

    The fourth lady rejoices

    that he can’t copy voices.

    It was her dirty words the bird squawked!

    The things that a bird gets away with/

    No human would dare to play with../

    The lisp of the King/

    Is that kind of a thing/

    That a courtier might go astray with…

    At the gatherings of the “refined”/

    Where they speak of “the life of the mind”/

    Is it coincidence/

    In the course of events/

    Someone absent is always maligned ?

    Don Ventrílocuo enjoyed standing aside and watching the audience’s reactions to his naughty bird. His guileless guests never caught him moving his lips.

    The bird learned how to gauge//if the audience was of age.//He used lots of gimmicks/and double meanings in limericks/and could tell them in any language.

    Grandfathers jokes were so hilarious, they were all pissing themselves (except Father, who knew them by heart).

    Looks like a parrot, acts like a troll. But what is the difference?

    The Rude Parrot

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ignacio_Le%C3%B3n_y_Escosura_-_The_Rude_Parrot.jpg 

    has info and links that point to more info about this roughly jumbo envelope size, oil on panel painting.

     

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image at

    and using the dropdown menu (even larger if you trim what’s after .png from the URL). I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

    The relief was palpable when it turned out the parrot was, in fact, not dead.

    Robert grinned at his investment – he’d paid the sailor just a half shilling for this parrot, and it made him the life of the party.
