Driver And Co-Driver

 On a balmy evening for April quite a beautiful day

A policeman patrolling in his patrol car on the Cobden-Warrnambool Roadway

Ahead of him near Laang a red station wagon travelling slowly came into his view

Just another relaxed driver to the cop nothing new

But as he drew nearer to the station wagon to his surprise he did see 

That the driver had a bird perched on his left shoulder he thought this cannot be

A bird as a co-driver i find it hard to believe

Am i having a mental breakdown or do my eyes deceive

To check this one out the policeman did decide

He put on his patrol siren and waved to the car driver to stop at the roadside

he asked John the car driver for his name and address

Having a bird on your shoulder when driving has you in a lawful mess

As for the pink and grey bird on your shoulder what is it's claim to fame

And the parrot said i am a galah and Wonky is my name

She said for a policeman you are quite stupid as well as being rude

Since it is obvious on John's driving capabilities i do not intrude

To the upholder of the law this came as a huge surprise

To book John for careless driving would not be a good idea he came to realize

To John and to Wonky with a wave he did say

Goodbye and good luck and enjoy the rest of your day

As the policeman drove his patrol car to the police station at Warrnambool

He said to himself that bird made me look a fool

Of my experience today anyone i dare not tell

As they would come to the conclusion that i am not mentally well.
