Sense Sonnet - Ticker

 Bird Talk 'Round the Fountain

The water fountain is the place

Where the secretarial pool

Of rainbow lorikeets do race

First thing before work, to sip cool

Water, and of course gossip talk.

This morning Madge is subject thirst.

Affair with her boss is a shock,

Cuz Madge in looks department's worst.

That her having a fling's occurred

Anywhere in down under land,

Is wild for such a homely bird,

None of these gals can understand.

When to the fountain, Madge does come,

The other lorikeets go mum.
