stupid bird

That poor guy died adjusting his television aerial, poor
Rod Hull he fell off his roof, it didn't say in the paper if
Emu was with him at the time. I would expect it would
have been, you never see Rod Hull without him, just like
you never see Punch without Judy. If I was Judy I would
have left him years ago.

If you met a guy in the pub and his first name was
Punch, it doesn't seem like a good idea to hook up with
him; you're just asking for trouble and that’s what she
got the poor girl.

Well back to Emu. Does that sound like a good pet to
have? Rod could be in the pet shop. ‘What kind of pet
are you looking for?’ The shop assistant would ask.
Rod. ‘I think I fancy an Emu.’

Shop assistant. ‘We don’t have any call for emu’s in
here. We’ve got cats, dogs, hamsters, budgies and mice
but not emus.

I don’t know where Rod got the emu from, but he
didn't use very much imagination when he named it, just
calling it Emu. He could have called it Eddie. Eddie the
Emu or if it was a girl Edwina. Your’re not going to call
your new cat, dog or hamster, Cat, Dog or Hamster, are
you?

I expect Emu was on the roof with Rod. That bird
just wants to carry on all the time, like when he was on
the Michael Parkinson show and Michael couldn't get a
minutes peace. He ended up on the floor with the antics
of that stupid bird.

What I say, is if you’re going to have a pet you should
take some time to train it. I can just imagine it on the
roof grabbing at the aerial till Rod lost his footing and
fell to his death.
