A bit of random dippiness...

Those of you who saw it at EI can skip it, though. ;)


NORWEGIAN BLUE (THIS BIRD HAS FLOWN)
tune: "Norwegian Wood," by the Beatles

I once bought a bird,
Then took it back,
Made a complaint.

Won't move for a month,
Azure in hue,
Norwegian Blue.

I said to the shopkeeper, "I think this parrot is dead!"
He told me it wasn't and might have been sleeping instead

"He misses the fjords,
Hear what I say --
Pining away!"

"I know a dead bird --
Dead as a stone,
This bird has flown!

"Bereft of his life, off the twig, he is resting in peace!
He's run down the curtain, expired, a stiff and deceased!

This parrot's no more,
He's ceased to be,
Now 'istory!"

He's nailed to the perch,
Azure in hue,
Norwegian Blue.
