"Where'd you get that parrot anyway?" he asked her.
"Crikey, Mate! Crikey!"
"Grandpa brought him back from Down Under," she sighed. "I sure miss Grandpa."
"Crikey!"
"Well, it's been fun, but I couldn't take that every night. See you round."
"Oh. Okay."
...
"Good parrot," she said, once he'd gone.

Excellent 55 Devo!!
We all need a little help like that once in a while..hehehehe
Thanks for this whimsical offering, and have a Great Week-End...G
It took me a while to get it. I had to read it twice. I'm a bit slow.
Great 55.
Ohhhhhh, this is super!!!
Mine's posted.
[the word verification is "Fartful"?!!! What the heck is that. OMGoodness.]
that means "get out" in parrot -speak? :D
We would eat the parrot if you want or some guy that was bothering you. We dragons aren't fussy.
Nice 55
Ours is ready to read.
ROFL, great stuff! I love finding help in unexpected places. Now, where can *I* get a parrot?? LOL
I love it!
G-Man,
Sometimes I think they'll ALL drive you crazy in the end.
Dr. John,
I had to cut a lot out to get it to fit in 55 words, so don't feel bad if it took you a couple of reads. I'm always happy if ANYONE gets it!
Hootin' Anni,
Ironically enough, you can't say "fartful" without saying "artful."
Mona,
I think just about anything means "get out" in parrot-speak if it's repeated enough times!
Fandango,
Thanks for your kind offer. But maybe you could just make them a little uncomfortable with a puff of fire-breath ...
Susan,
Apparently, this kind comes from Australia. : )
Mama Zen,
Q: What is the sound of one parrot squawking?
A: Enlightenment.
Love to all,
Devotee
