Written for Esther’s Laughing Along
With A Limerick #233 with the prompt
word ‘talk’. This is my limerick.
I once had a parrot named Sue,
Whose vocabulary grew and grew.
She talked in the hall,
And talked to the wall.
She even talked to me while in the loo!

The Elephant's Trunk 
What a lovely little poem. Potty mouth, I like that expression! I wrote a story about a similar parrot once, I’ll reuse it if I ever get the chance.

Thank you, dear Keith. We use it to describe someone who talks dirty. It’s perfect!

Time to flush the bird? Depends on what it’s saying!

The little exposure I’ve had to parrots has shown they curse like drunken sailors!

Does this one count as ‘talk’?
When Santa was out on his sleigh
He said “How I Love Christmas Day!”
All over the Earth
We rejoice in his birth!
And the reindeer all shouted, “Oy veh!”

A bit of idle chat
Is better than being attacked
