Blue Moon … Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 453 & Part 454

 

Blue Moon

I'm so tired of being alone
These penitent walls are all I've known
The songbird calling
Across the water
Outside my silent asylum

Oh, don't leave me on my own
Left me standing all alone

Today is Sunday, the 31st of May 2026.
Blue MOON

May Day! May Day!

A second full MOON in the month of May.

That's what they call a Blue MOON. A year with thirteen full MOONs? Month? A period of time the authors named after the MOON, our silent companion.

You cannot measure time, Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl, thinks. You cannot press time into the cage or corset of a calender or one month. And you most definatley cannot turn back the time.

May. Day. Say. Stay. Away.

"Rock Of Bromford"

Let me say this to you
I'll be steadfast and true
And my love will never falter

The sea would crash about us
The waves would lash about us
I'll be your Rock of Bromford

Sometimes it's hard
And we're both caught off guard
But there's nothing I would ever alter

The wind could howl round our ears
For the next thousand years
I'd still be your Rock of Bromford

The best thing I done
Was to make you the one
Who I'd walk with down to the altar

You'd stand by me
And together we'd be
That great, steady Rock of Bromford

Under the big yellow MOON
On our honeyMOON
I took you on a trip to Malta

And all through the night
You held me so tight
Your great, steady Rock of Bromford

Could the powers that be
Ever foresee
That things could so utterly alter?

All the plans that we laid
Could soon be betrayed
Betrayed like the Rock of Bromford

"Bromford Breezes"

It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door

When you're really half a world away
I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for
To say the things that I want to say
I can't remember when I felt so close to you
It's almost more than I can bear
Though I seem a half a million miles from you
You are in my heart and living there

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford

There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park
And lovers who walk all alone
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark
And lovers who long for home
I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to
You're in my dreams and always near
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you
You are in my heart and living there

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford

Bromford breezes, cool and clearing
Evening's sweet caress
Bromford breezes, soft and gentle
Remind me of your tenderness

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford
Just like the breezes here in old Bromford

Today is Saturday, the 30th of May 2026.

Socrates said, 'Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.', said Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl.

Why?, asked the seven wolves.

Shush!, shushed the six unicorns. Or you will wake the dragons.

And thirty thirsty monkeys joined the twenty-two dragons, the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"

Illumed for promise
Due as bound
Commonly in circles I ache as ignite
Time's by essence
Heat by flint
Would I yearn for tenderness
A light within

Here I fought for you
A pall as cast and through
Though danger said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone

As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord have mercy on my soul

A screen but captures you
In thrall yet ghost's remove
With languor said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone

As the river rolls
As thе river rolls
As the river rolls
As thе river rolls
Lord help me from my soul
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord help me save my soul

You dare not follow
You dare not follow
You dare not follow
As the river rolls
As the river rolls

"Sweet Home Bromford"

Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Well, do you remember when the steel mill shut down
We had to go in the country, mama, 'cause you couldn't live in town
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Well, do you remember baby back in 1934
You had the nerve to tell your daddy
That you didn't want him no more
Ride on - baby, don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 449 & Part 450

 

Today is Friday, the 22nd of May 2026.

And then there was the story about the dragon who wanted to send the llama on a journey with thirteen wizards to steal back an ancient treasure from an evil dwarf who had unlawfully taken possession of it, two of the chicks said.

Is there a llama in this group?, the astro-cats wanted to know.

No, the ten more chicks said, but the tawny owl should tell that story.

And the first twenty-five chicks squeeked, We all need more stories with llamas as protagonists.

You don't even know what protagonists are, you little chicks, the wolves grinned.

And Twenty-Five, our tawny owl, thought, I cannot keep all of this together. It's getting wild and wilder every night or as Fyodor Dostoevsky once wrote, 'The wisest of all, in my opinion, is he who can, if only once a month, call himself a fool - a faculty unheard of nowadays.'

And out of the middle of nowhere twenty-two dragons joined the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"

Well, I thought that this was half a love
Well, I thought that this was half a love, love
Follow to the rising sea
Well, I thought that this was half a love

Well, I thought that this was half a love
Well, I thought that this was half a love
Follow to the rising sea
Well, I thought that this was half a love

Whoo
When I'm falling to the right

"Bromfordtown"

Go on girl, grab the lifeline
Build a bridge for those left behind
Will I freeze or fawn, will I fight or flight?
Take flight
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing when the day is
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done


Going up to Bromfordtown
Gonna meet some bears there
I have not been allowed to see
Them in years now
They introduce me to a King Triton
He seems to know a gay witch
Who hails from Brooklyn
So when he casts a circle to call in the spirit
That will give advice if you don't even ask for it


He says, "Go on girl, grab the lifeline
Build a bridgе for those left behind
Will I freezе or fawn, will I fight or flight?
Take flight
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing when the day is
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done


The witch from Brooklyn said
"You need your dragon kin
Only they can save you now
'Cause you're turning into one of them
So you'll head down south on a turbo
Bike with the gasoline girls
'Cause back there in a mountain town
Is your daughter
Then you'll find a high priestess
Who will lead you through a vampire revue
Down in New Orleans"


"Go on girl, grab the lifeline
Then build a bridge for those left behind
Will I freeze or fawn, will I fight or flight?
Take flight
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing when the day is
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done
