Quote
Sergeant Brown's Parrot

Many policemen wear upon their shoulders
Cunning little radios. To pass away the time
They talk about the traffic to them, listen to the news,
And it helps them to Keep Down Crime.

But Sergeant Brown, he wears upon his shoulder
A tall green parrot as he's walking up and down
And all the parrot says is "Who's-a-pretty-boy-then?"
"I am," says Sergeant Brown.

Kit Wright (b. 1944)

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Made me laugh.
I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.
