Ruislip’s Parakeets

As we were wand’ring through the park We thought we might have heard a lark But, instead, some peculiar tweets Emanating from parakeets

What an unusual sight to see Swiftly flying from tree to tree With their plumage very bright green You can follow where they have been

So however did they get there In and around gardens and square? It seems nobody really knows But their fam’ly just grows and grows
