Peevish Parrot

How to teach my buddy

The fair tactics of love?

The fragile birdie behaves

Firmly stubborn never bows.

Refuses deliberately and knowingly

I will not give up too.

Though this buddy is playful

And full of pranks,

Fond of pecking here and there,

The inside instinct is philanthropic

But cannot outsmart my prudence.

I feel offering this buddy loyally

Everything, even then

Why doesn’t this parrot

Leave its treacheries, mischievous and bitterly sweet nothings?

O Parrot!

If you are adamant

I am equally obstinate.

Your extra carefree attitude

Will never ever get

The wings of liberty to

Leave me; your flights are not hidden

And your exposed self is dear to me.

My only wish now is never to feel free.

Yet free is what I want to feel

Be my loyal buddy

Shedding all fences and peripheries unnecessary.
