SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Polly Want a Divorce? SHANGHAI (Reuters) - A Chinese housewife is seeking divorce claiming the family's talking bird dropped clues on her husband's illicit affair, state media said on Tuesday.   The woman from southwestern Chongqing city said she uncovered the affair when their mynah began saying things like "Divorce," "I love you" and "Be patient" after it overheard the husband's telephone calls with his mistress, the Xinmin Evening News said.  The woman said she noticed the feathered tattle-tale's strange new vocabulary after she returned from a month-long visit with her parents that started in May.   Already suspecting her husband was having an affair, she observed that the bird became particularly talkative whenever the telephone rang, confirming her suspicions, the report said.  Last week she brought the bird to a law office for consultation, hoping it could testify in court.  "Can my mynah be used as witness?" the newspaper quoted her as asking.  Lawyers were not optimistic.   "The judges are unlikely to rule against your husband based only on the mynah's words," attorney Wu Di was quoted as telling her.


What the Mynah Heard by Mugwa

And the Mynah told it all
Yes the Mynah let it leak
It's the Mynah bird of truth
Watch out for his flapping beak

I went to visit mama and papa
I was only gone one month
And I hardly go visit at all
But now my Mynah's talking
Saying things I can't believe
The bird it says "I love you"
The bird it says "be patient"
The bird it says "divorce"

And the Mynah told it all
Yes the Mynah let it leak
It's the Mynah bird of truth
Watch out for his flapping beak

He's talking when the phone rings
My husbands been calling his lover
The bird he knows it's so
I want to divorce him now
I saw attorney Wu Di today
But he said the bird is not enough
Please Judge belive in my Mynah
He knows the truth of the mistress

And the Mynah told it all
Yes the Mynah let it leak
It's the Mynah bird of truth
Watch out for his flapping beak
