In a land of wonder and delight,
There lived a chatty little sprite,
A sassy chat with so much to say,
And babble on throughout the day.

With a parakeet perched on her shoulder,
She'd talk absolute nonsense and get bolder,
And try her hand at ventriloquism too,
Making her feathered friend speak like new.

But oh, the dangers of her chatter,
For sometimes her words were like a dagger,
And fatal to the feelings of those around,
Leaving them with a heart that's down.

But when she realized the harm she caused,
She apologized and felt so appalled,
And with a flutter of her wings so light,
She set things right and made them bright.

So if you ever see this chat so free,
Remember to be kind and friendly,
And let your words bring joy and delight,
Fluttering like a bird in flight.
