Mulga’s Zombie Zoo – Bird Brain Bill
Artists: Joel Moore
Project: Mulga’s Zombie Zoo
Website: mulgasroom.blogspot.com.au
An Ode To Bird Brain Bill the Zombie
His name is Bill and for a brain
He’s got a bird thus his name
His thoughts are scattered like bird seed
Of worms and grubs his mind does feed
Bill’s original brain was eaten alive
By Beardo the Weirdo doing the zombie jive
Beardo became Bill’s zombie dad
His beard is green and very rad
The early worm gets eaten alive
By the early bird who’s got the drive
One bird in the head is worth two in the tree
Especially when that space is free
Today Bill operates four birdseed shops
His brain is happy the food never stops
That’s the story of Bird Brain Bill
With a bird for brain and looks to kill
