The Poisonous Parrot
I was walking by some lilac trees
chanced upon a brightly coloured bird
a parrot it was, feathered purple and green
it flew at me and bit my head
I ducked and hit and spun
the parrot screamed a word
over and over again
it's claws were in my hair
it's beak pecked at my brow
Loser, Loser, cawed the fowl
laughing at my plight
I ran fast away down the path
but couldn't get myself free
I finally grabbed the purple fiend
and it vanished without a trace
