A LADY BOUGHT A PARROT AT A PET SHOP. SHE TOOK
THE PARROT PAST A CONSTRUCTION BUILDING AND THE
PARROT HEARD ONE MAN SAY TO ANOTHER, "BRING'M UP,
BRING'M UP." THE NEXT DAY THE LADY TOOK THE
PARROT PAST A BUTCHER SHOP. THE PARROT HEARD THE
BUTCHER SAY "BALONEY, BALONEY." THE NEXT DAY THE
PARROT WENT TO THE CARNIVAL. THE PARROT HEARD A MAN
SAY "HIT A BLACK ONE, WIN A PRIZE." ON SUNDAY
THE LADY TOOK THE PARROT TO CHURCH. THE PREACHER
SAID, "THE DEVIL IS IN HELL." THE PARROT SAID
"BRING'M UP, BRING'M UP." THEN THE PREACHER SAID,
"GOD IS GREAT." THE PARROT SAID, "BALONEY,
BALONEY." SO THE PREACHER THROWS THE BIBLE AT THE PARROT
AND HITS A BLACK MAN BY MISTAKE. THE PARROT SAID,
"HIT A BLACK ONE, WIN A PRIZE, HIT A BLACK ONE, WIN
A PRIZE."
