Fair Go the lorikeets!
Someone perhaps
Could tell the lorikeets
To cool it, cut the cackle
Consider the Fair Go
For their way,
Each one screech one
Louder, all at once
But not in harmony
Cacophony
Flap and flash of far-from-subtle
Lurid red blue green
Such egotistic squawking
Talking?
Is hardly the democratic way
You’d think it was Mardi Gras daily
The brashest and gayest of Pride
Yes someone should tell the lorikeets
To consider their place in the ‘hood
It can’t be just me
It’s clear as can be
Their behaviour’s just frankly not on
Can’t they give us a break
For sanity’s sake
The gorgeous, the garish
The neighbours, exotic, from hell

Bringing back memories with this one Sally, I can remember the vast numbers of these up in Queensland! Love the humour but maybe not funny for you. xx
