Algernon Jovi Von Tressamaine Bru
a strange name you'd think for a parrot to choose
but Algernon thought if I'm known as Al
it will give me street cred with the rest of my pals
and Jovi a name he just had to adopt
from his favourite group, He was well into rock
Von from a German he once met in Spain
and to sound more exotic he chose Tressamaine
but feeling he just had to round it all off
he picked the name Bru from a drink that he loved
Algernon Jovi Von Tressamaine Bru
still, just a parrot between me and you.
