8. Lawless Lean The parrot Is eating a carrot In his cage in the garret.
And the brothers gather
Mutter utter would rather
Forget
The words the parrot
Said.
When high in his cage swinging
From the lofty ceiling
Sat the pet screaming:
“Who killed Lawless Lean?”
It was not at all fitting.
So they put the parrot
In his cage in the garret
And gave him a carrot
To keep him quiet.
He should be glad they did not wring his neck.
The parrot
Is eating a carrot
In his cage in the garret.
Why is the parrot’s
Cage in the garret?
He is not a sage
Parrot: his words enrage.
Downstairs
In his bed
Lies the head
Of the family
He is dead.

12. Firework by Katy Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams
but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you 'Cause there's a spark in you You just gotta ignite the light,
and let it shine Just own the night
like the 4th of July
(Chorus)
'Cause baby you're a firework Come on, show 'em what you're worth Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework Come on, let your colors burst Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh" You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space You're original, cannot be replaced If you only knew what the future holds After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow And when it's time, you'll know You just gotta ignite the light,
and let it shine Just own the night
like the 4th of July (chorus)
Boom, boom, boom Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon It's always been inside of you, you, you And now it's time to let it through
