I have a noisy blue budgerigar

Zoe left it here when she moved out

For a while the bird was quite down

But it slowly became used to me

And now we are quite inseparable

I used to get the tube to work

But now fly to the city

With my pet each day

In the evenings when I return home

My dinner awaits me on the table

We read the papers together

And discuss the news

Before we go to the seed church

To say our evening prayers

Of late my ex has been hanging around

I think that she wants to get back together

We were rather happy once

But not as happy as I am now
