OK this is a Brit Silly Poem

Pete Brown was an animal lover
he went out of his way to be kind
but he once had a row with a parrot
that near sent him out of his mind

on his way to the factory in't mornin
past pet shop each day he would walk.
and as he passed tut window, a parrot
these words of alarm it would squawk

"I know about thee...most offensive,
it gave poor old pete quite a turn
and he wondered how the parrot had managed
his innermost secrets to learn

Well this it went on for a fortnight
till the whole thing was getting absurd
so at last he went into the pet shop
and said "how much do you want for yon bird"

Its nobbut for sale, said the pet man
that parrot is private its mine
"Al give thee ten pound..Pete persisted
"nowt doin..twill never be thine"

So he left feeling rather downhearted
and then on the very next day
"I know about thee"..shrieked the parrot
as the pet shop he passed on his way

So, back to the shop and the pet man
Pete offered him one hundred quid!
"its nobbut for sale said "tut old fella
not even if a thousand you bid"

"But seeing you've been so persistant
and for't trouble to which you have been
tut parrot laid a big egg this morning
you can have it for three pounds fifteen"

Pete took the egg home and he warmed it
each day for a crack he would watch.
and soon all his care was rewarded
as the offspring of't parrot did hatch

While passing the pet shop next morning
he braced himself ready for't cry;
"I know abaht thee"! said the parrot
and fixed him with it's evil eye

Pete stopped and turned round to the parrot.
he gave it a withering look.
" I know about thee too, he answered
Tha's had it away with a duck"!
