I Have A Poll Parrot

by Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti

I have a Poll parrot,
And Poll is my doll,
And my nurse is Polly,
And my sister Poll.
'Polly!' cried Polly,
'Don't tear Polly, dolly' -
While soft-hearted Poll
Trembled for the doll.




Quotes of the Day

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

    A Song
    by James Whitcomb Riley
    There is ever a song somewhere, my dear; There is ever a something sings alway: There's the song of the lark when the skies are clear, And the song of the thrush when the skies are gray.
