“Dogs can’t talk no, not a word they’d rather chew a bone. Cats can’t talk but think they can, and in that they’re alone. Fish can’t talk their lips do move but words just do not come. Guinea pigs, chinchillas too... they both are just as dumb. Tortoises can’t talk at all they’re happy in their shell. And hairy eight-legged spiders they are all quite mute as well. Rabbits? No, they cannot talk they’d rather chew a carrot. So, I’ll just talk to myself... WE NEED ANOTHER PARROT!”
