The Cockatoo's dilemma

A Cockatoo went and once
Told a Bird friend of his
In no uncertain terms
How it is
He would like a bite off the nuts
This Bird friend was
Feasting on

For a morsel of tasty nuts
He had offered a night's rest
In his own nest

That he was ready to brave
The Cold of the night
Whilst the Lady Bird snoozed
Was a situation too
Hard to be true
Or in its entirety true

So the Bird friend tweeted
That this Cockatoo should
Let her stay in on the nest
First before taking the bite
He had only just requested

Now a little hunger
Can make one take bad decisions
Can it not
Well it possibly can

You only need to take
One last long look
At your favourite flavours
To jump at the earliest
Opportunity of an invite to sup

This the Cockatoo did
A nimble and avid
Snatch at the nut offered
By the base of the nest
Built on a strong and steady
Branch mid way up the tree

But the custom of the exchange
Would not stand time's test
For before long the Cockatoo
Having satisfied his hunger
Finds that the cold of the night
Is as equally difficult as
The Pangs of an hungry Belly

So he resolved to get
His nest back
But as you well know
It is difficult to push
Out a bird from a nest
It has settled in fully

The only thing you can do
Is to bide time pending
When this Bird friend flies
Out in Search of more food
And that could well be after
A long hard and cold night

So what should a good bird do
Brave the cold or force a fight

Which would with perseverance
Lead to success
A bite in the neck or the cold wind biting
Away at someone's neck.
