My parrot is polite
He can write
In the detail of a tiny mite
And swim like a human despite
The fact he’s only small and isn’t very tall
He can call on command
And can conduct a band
To play Beethoven’s symphony number nine
He could dine with a hound
And hold his knife and fork the right way round
He can juggle like a clown
And hang upside down
To London’s people uttermost delight
He will have a chat with a most noble knight
The headmaster says pets are not for school
Although it’s pretty cool
That Percy secretly attends every lesson so he’s no fool
