The newly
acquired parrot
re-runs
(in all its naked glory)
each intimate
moment
of thier love
making
(the night before
the night before) .
All the fireworks
of passion
all love's
racqous riot
of colours cascading
through the senses
all lust
here displayed
in all its
exotic plummage
before
(not one)
but both
sets of mother-in-laws
come to
visit.
They try to
shush it up
(all to no avail)
the parrot's
really enjoying it all.
