So this is probably terrible, as I'm not really a poet at all :P But I had some extra time at work today and was thinking about Yoshi and some of the stuff I've heard lately from people giving away their birds... just felt like trying a poem :P
Tomorrow your new baby comes home.
How exciting it must be.
But have you done your homework?
There is a lot you might not see.
When you bring this lovely creature home.
You probably do not know.
Just how very smart it is.
Nor how your life will go.
Such a lovable creature.
So you buy it and take it away.
But alas you don't yet know.
What challenges will come each day.
Sometimes they bite. Sometimes they scream.
They make lot's of messes too.
Another thing to remember is;
They'll probably out live you.
Feathers will fly everywhere.
The dirt devel is your friend.
With food all over the floor.
Will the mess ever end?
Parrots are wild creatures.
But live in homes you see.
They depend on us to give to them.
All the things they need.
They need to have their showers.
Don't forget their Doctor too.
They cannot live on seed alone.
So Sad That many do.
They have different moods.
Just the same as us.
Don't give them what they like.
They are bound to make a fuss.
They need Love and Understanding.
when they are scared or hurt or sad.
They do not understand it when.
What they do makes us so mad.
We must always remember.
They were meant to be free.
We must give them more than just a cage.
For they would really like a tree.
So when you take a parrot home.
Please keep these things in mind.
It's up to you to understand
And always to be kind.
So remember your task
when it seems hard to do
For your kind loving friend
will appreciate you.
Love your baby no matter what.
She will always love you too.
The love my Grey shows me.
Keeps me from feeling blue.
I will always love my Yoshi.
She is a part of our family forever.
No matter what the circumstances.
I promise we shall always be together.
Never give up on your baby.
Try not to get mad.
Treat your baby right.
He will be the best friend you've ever had.

Wow, we have Davey the poet, now we have Jess, another poet in the greyt family, that was wonderful, you do have talent, thanks for sharing that with us.
Never take life seriously, no one gets out alive anyway!
Wonderful poem and I agree totaly with all of it. I could no more part with my birds than I could one of my own children they are my children also and will have my unconditional love as long as I am able to give it. And with Gods grace that will mean many many more wonderful years with my beautiful flying angels
I enjoyed this poem very much.
I am making it a "Sticky" hope all who enter this site will read and it think. :-)
Karma to you Jess!!
Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O.
