Reminds me of an old joke about a sailor who was stranded on an island along with his parrot. He eventually ate the poor bird, and when asked what it tasted like, he replied, “Chicken, turkey. That bird could imitate anything.”
Ah, finally an installment of this threat that I can get behind! The Trashmen might have asserted that the bird is the word (and did so quite well, I might add; even better than the Rivingtons did). But Polly is more of a personification of Joe Jones’ signature admonition than anything. It looks like Polly can serve at least two or three guests…..

Typical cartoonist slip: Bird’s knees bend the other direction.
