“A black-sharded lady keeps me in a parrot cage.”

“I have a deep-seated respect for parrots. As gifted as I am with all other wildlife, parrots have this uncanny desire to kill me. I'm not sure why, but they're like my kryptonite!”

“I had a parrot. The parrot talked, but it did not say "I'm hungry", so it died.”

“She was not quite what you would call refined.
She was not quite what you would call unrefined.
She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.”

“When a lady condescends to apologize, there is no keeping one’s anger.”

“The beast in me
Is caged by frail and fragile bars.”

“Yeah, I support my troops
They wave black flags
They wear black masks
All the roads are closed
Smoke is rising from the fields
The monsters left their cages
An angel set them free.”

“A nation of monkeys with the throat of parrots.”

“Seven things has Lady Lackless
Keeps them underneath her black dress
One a ring that’s not for wearing
One a sharp word, not for swearing
Right beside her husband’s candle
There’s a door without a handle
In a box, no lids or locks
Lackless keeps her husband’s rocks
There’s a secret she’s been keeping
She’s been dreaming and not sleeping
On a road, that’s not for traveling
Lackless likes her riddle raveling.”

“Charming ladies, the beauty of a flock of white doves is better enhanced by a black crow than by a pure white swan.”
