Goodnight Cocky

A fun little poem about a Cockatoo who has a lot of attitude.

I'm a Cockatoo,

Bet you've seen a few.

Can't shut me down,

Bush king, see my crown.

Noisy and impolite,

And a sharp beak that'll bite.

Eat everything in sight,

White wings take flight.

Up, up and away,

Squawk squawking all day.

Sulphur crest all ornate,

Some love me...some hate.


Say, “Hello cocky”,

I do a lot of talky.

Repeat it like a parrot,

Strangle me with a garrote.

A protected species,

Overhead...catch my faeces.

I'll do a little dance,

Point your finger take a chance,

I'll take it off at first glance.

Blood streaming...

You'll be screaming,

“Kill that Cocky!”

Remember, I'm protected,

Curb your anger...be deflected.

Laughing all day,

After dark, nothing to say...

Goodnight Cocky.
