Pollygraft: /paw lee graft/ When the family went on their long vacation, they had left their green conure, Polly, with Uncle Mikey to “birdsit”. Polly had developed an good vocabulary saying things like “Hello”, “I love you”, “Give me a kiss” and of course, “Polly wanna cracker”. After they had taken Polly home, they noticed strange words crept into his vocabulary. Phrases like “Hand over all your money”, “Just co-operate and no one gets hurt” and “Curses, it’s the cops” were liberally sprinkled with swear words through his everyday chats. Horrified, they confronted Uncle Mikey and he admitted that he had pollygraft Polly and had used him in some of his criminal activities. Uncle Mikey was then polygraphed himself and sentenced. These days, Mikey is the one locked up in a cage and Polly now sings “Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna doi when they come for you?” Etymology: Polly (common name for a Parrot or other talking bird) & Graft (corrupt actions of official: the use of dishonest or illegal means to gain money or property by somebody in a position of power or in elected office
