What's orange and sounds like a parrot?

Make It Land

Let the Rhyme Arrive

A carrot fits the color clue, and “carrot” sounds close to “parrot,” the colorful bird known for copying sounds and speech. That near-rhyme is the whole joke: the question makes listeners imagine an orange animal or object, then answers with an ordinary vegetable. Ask the question plainly and pause briefly before “A carrot.” Keep the answer short and do not explain the rhyme while telling it; the surprise works best when listeners make the connection themselves.
