I Had An Argument With my Canary While in Line at the Bank Because I'm a Nudist

Why did I bring my canary? He just gets me into strife.
I always get embarassed 'cause he messes with my life.
He sat there on my shoulder then he nibbled at my ear.
He looked about and gave a chirp,then his voice came loud and clear.
'You should be wearing feathers, it's indecent to be bare!
Especially in a bank queue where everyone will stare.
'I told him to shut up his tweety little beak, or else, said I, with squinting eye, another shoulder he should seek.
'At least,' he said, squinting back,'you could lose a bit of weight,otherwise to be laughed at will be your awful fate.
'At that I found I'd had enough of that rotten little bird
and as I grabbed him by the throat he squawked a real rude word.
Just as I was winning this argument of ours, Security came racing; it was not my finest hour.
Some nice people in white coats they wanted me to meet, otherwise I swear to you that bird was shredded tweet!

  1. This is comedy gold, love it!

    The title's priceless to start with. I think you could make this the first of a series of surreal poems in the vein of Dr Seuss!
