My uncle had a parrot when I was young
It was a blue and yellow colored bird
He got it first when he was a naval man
And it had the foulest mouth you ever heard
It would swear in front of my old aunts
All the neighbors and even the reverend
Next time the punishment would be severe
After every outburst the parrot was warned
The bird thought they were empty threats
So the parrot did swear a further time
And the punishment was extremely severe
He was thrown into the freezer for his crime
He was shivering and cold and very sorry
When he was let out after an hour or two
He apologized unreservedly but asked
Tell me what on earth did that chicken do?
