Wilfred Gets the Bird

When Wilfred asked to keep a bird

            both parents said "you can"

so he went up to the pet shop and

            brought back a large Toucan.

The Toucan bright and friendly

            had a big and gaudy beak

with which he once pecked Wilfred

            and Wilf stayed pecked all week.

It was the Toucans coloured beak

            that made young Wilfred thrill

in fact he took one look at it

            and said "I'll call him Bill."

Bill never pecked young Wilf again

            each other they'd protect

and Wilfred said of Bill - he is

            my Toucan of respect.

As Wilf remarked to his Dad and Mum -

Toucan have more fun than one.
