Time for my poem to get another airing:-


The Power of Prayer.


Mrs Brown had a wayward parrot,
A pretty young thing called Flo.
Who was always swearing and talking,
In sexual innuendo.

Mrs Brown went for tea at the vicars,
One Sunday evening last year.
Where she saw his old parrot praying
And it gave her a clever idea.

She asked the vicar at tea time,
"Can I borrow your old parrot "Rex",
To try to influence my parrot Flo,
Who talks of nothing but sex.

She took Rex home the same evening,
He prayed all the way in the car.
She was really impressed by the old bird,
Whose manners outshone Flos by far.

But when she put him in Flos cage,
She realized her greatest fears.
Flo said "Do you want a bit Rex"? and Rex said
"I've been praying for this for years"!!!
