A Serious Case of the Sillies

Lovely plummage....
This parrot is dead!!!
What's up inside my head?
I think my brain has bled,
Or of simple sense, not fed

How can I defend myself...
If my brain is on a shelf,
Unused, untasked, unread,
That brain is little more than dead,

So you prevail yet once more, again
From your lofty mental den,
As I do crawl away,
Hoping sometime will come my day.
