Monty by Jim Meddick for February 10, 2025

Don’t be woke, Pilsner. That’s banned now.

So I met an old parrot in a cage parked in the aisle at a pet shop. I asked the guy where it came from. ‘Estate sale, old guy died. It’s like 40’The parrot looked miserable. Spend a life being a favored pet and friend to one persone and now stuck in a pet shop in the noise and commotion.“I’m so sorry.” I said, not knowing what else to say. And in the most cynical voice possible it did an imitation of a child saying “Polly want a cracker? Ha ha ha ha ha.”If I could have afforded it, I would have taken him home.

A Parakeet as bird bait, somewhat redundent.

Oops. Best be careful, Pilsner. If the “woke” police hear you, they’ll arrest you and have you deported!

Pilsner wanna brewski?

I think the story line here is for the birds. Monty is getting hit on by some little old lady! That’s the real story.

I thought he was a parrot. My mother would feed chicken to her parakeet, LOL!

I know this is a stretch, but she may have stopped in just to see what your living conditions were like. She, unmentioned in this script, could be a Parrottundertaker, & was just sizing up the condition of Pilsner for future business.Like Joe Black said, “Death & Taxes”.

Never heard of a talking parakeet, and he BARELY resembles a parrot, much less a ’keet.

My budgie said his name (“Zoot”). He was suicidal. He would say “Here kitty kitty kitty”.

Meddick doesn’t seem to know what a parakeet looks like….WAY too big.

Pilsner still accepted the cracker.

Somehow I always thought Moondog lived in a house not an apartment.

She lost me at “young man”.

I thought he was a chicken hawk. Yeah!

She’s lucky he didn’t cracker upside the head.

That encounter makes Pilsner want to go back to his cage and talk to his mirror buddy. :)

enlightened parakeet?! aw, I guess you can’t choose your owner (hey Pilsner, do you have to dumb it down for him?)
