Riddle
Why would ‘Noel’ be the most appropriate name for a priest’s pet parakeet?
Update: My brother ‘Steevil’ has the answer:
parac(l)ete
Took me all day, the only thing I could think of at first was a dimly remembered character (possibly fictional) who called her parakeet Onan, because he “spilled his seed upon the ground.”
By the way, I do not know why comments are not working.
