鸟童(十二)|Bird Children(12)

PARROT’S a very wise old bird,She can speak English well, I’ve heard;Laughs and says in manner jolly:“Have you a cracker for Miss Polly? ”

A DREADFUL thief is old BLUE JAY,He robs the other birds, they say;He wears a handsome suit of blue,And calls a gay “Good-day” to you.
SPARROW’S an Englishman, I’m told,His manners are both rude and bold;Other birds wish he’d go away,But he says: “No, I’ve come to stay.”
