FINE CUT FILMS - NONSENSE


 

Some rubbish about Birds

Not exactly sure why I committed this load of tat. Just went to the bird park to visit my favourite toucan, Eric, and the muse must have struck me....


The parrot

A most colourful bird is the parrot
I know one that's bright red like a carrot
He can flutter his wings
And do all sorts of things
And at the bird show he rides round on a chariot



A Second Parrot

Parrots come in all colours it's true
Some are red, some are yellow, some blue
Though most just say SQUAWK
The really posh ones talk
And make phone calls to their friends at the zoo


The Eagle

The snob of the bird world is the eagle
He really does think himself regal
He's got blue blood, you know
Not like a parrot or crow
And he doesn't give a hoot for the seagull


The Puffin

The choosiest of birds is the puffin
He wouldn't touch a crumpet or muffin
But he has his own fun
He eats fish by the ton
Seems he can never cram quite enough in



The Flamingo

The giraffe of the bird world is the flamingo
He'll stand for hours on just one leg, by jingo
But if you ask him why
He'll say with a sigh
If I lift that one up too, I'll fall over, stupid gringo!


A Different Flamingo

Once I watched a flamingo all week
Wondering if his eyesight was weak
For he'd had quite a fall
And walked straight into a wall
Could it account for his curious bent beak?



The Hornbill

The hornbill is the oddest bird to see
As he flies gaily around from tree to tree
He never rides a bike
But he could if he'd like
'Cos he's got a built-in crash helmet you see


The penguin

The most formal of birds is the penguin
He struts around just like a mannequin
Though he frock coat and tails
He never ever fails
To look perfectly genuinely sanguine



The Macaw

Once a beautiful hyacinth macaw
Let out a huge SQUARK - an avian guffaw
The cause of his mirth
Was the gi-normous girth
Of the fat American tourist he saw



The Vulture

I recommend keeping well clear of the Vulture
Well you wouldn't want that beak to touch yer
He is singularly rude
When he's eating his food
My dear he has simply no culture
