Something about Cockatoos


Cocky Squawk

That noisy neighbour
Squawked all night
Squawk! Squawk!
He went into the night

Squawk! Squawk!
Turning over
Putting the pillow on my head  
Silly thing squawked again.

He has a cheeky squawk too!
Visitors get out of their car
‘Hello!’ he squawks
Everyone looks around.

No one is around
So Cocky squawks again
‘Hello!’ giving himself away
Cockatoos seem to inspire
The Mop Crew! 
Squawk he jumps up ‘n’ down in his cage

Last night though
Squawk! Squawk!
What’s he squawking at
Squawk!

Squawk! Squawk!
All night
Cheeky Cocky
Now on endangered list!
