Alexander Jones, Interim Director and Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity at ISAW, Writes Limerick for Pinkie the Talking Parrot
Interim Director and Professor of the History of the Exact Sciences in Antiquity, Alexander Jones, has written a poem for Pinkie.
Limerick for Pinkie
Our Pinkie's no garrulous cockatoo!
She seldom will speak when she's talkèd to.
We'll forgive her; she's blest
With a fine salmon crest,
And besides, she's an expert nutcracker too.
