Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 505 & Part 506

 Today is Tuesday, the 13th of October 2026.

There was an Owl Festival in the City of Beer last weekend, Twenty-Five said, and all they had for a Grand prize was this hrududu.

We did not know you spoke Lapine, said the nineteen hares.

Spoke what?, asked the tawny owl.

The language of rabbits?, one of the smaller hares whispered.

'Read a lot.' as Susan Sontag said, said the owl. 'Expect something big, something exalting or deepening from a book. No book is worth reading that isn’t worth re-reading.'

And all cats said, WHAAAT?

And thirteen other pigs joined the five more cows, the twenty-seven water buffaloes, the nineteen oxen, the eleven hippopotamuses, the three rhinoceros, the twenty-six deer, the eighteen other horses, the ten leopards, the two more tigers, the twenty-five normal cats, the seventeen more dogs, the nine poodles, the one assistance dog, the twenty-three guide dogs, the fifteen orangutans, the seven gorillas, the thirty thirsty monkeys, 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"

I get high like Bromford
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow
But today, it′s too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

I think that you were kind of mean (kind of mean, kind of mean)
You just replaced me in the scene (in the scene, in the scene)
I thought that we were evergreen (evergreen, evergreen)
Like a never-ending dream

Never been on the TV
Scratched me off of your CV
Out of your mind
Out of your mind
Never been so uneasy
Jealousy got me freaky
Out of my mind

So I get high like Bromford
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow
But today, it's too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

I′m losing sleep all by myself
I'm wide awake and I just wonder how
You put my heart back on the shelf (back on the shelf)
Well, I'ma be a loner now

Never been on the TV
Scratched me off of your CV
Out of your mind
Out of your mind
Never been so uneasy
Jealousy got me freaky
Out of my mind

So I get high like Bromford
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow
But today, it′s too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Drownin′ in my sofa with my blood shot red eyes (ooh)
Ridin' rollercoaster ′til I see the sunrise

I get high like Bromford (I get high, I get high)
We had it all but what do I know?
I try to push away the sorrow (I get high, I get high)
But today, it's too late, I try tomorrow
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

I get high like Bromford
Bromford (yeah), Bromford (yeah), Bromford
I get high like Bromford
Bromford (yeah), Bromford (yeah), Bromford

"Time On Bromford"

What's behind your eyes makes you a star

I want to take my time on Bromford
And give it meaning
They say you get what you deserve
I know the feeling

Those dumb looks only get you so far
What's behind your eyes makes you a star

I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apology
If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories
I'm gonna take this simple life and make history

I dream a fantasy
And then achieve it
Repeat the greatest lie
'Til they believe it

You and me, not gods, define us now
You come in screaming, leave in silence

Oh, I'm gonna walk onto that stage like it's my destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apology
If tomorrow I should die, these are my memories
I'm gonna take this simple life and make history

Let's fly higher than the mockingbirds
They won't touch us way up here
In the soul asylum of the universe
A man can disappear
Raise a glass to the dysfunctional
It's never ever too late
I feel like miracles are happening
If I could just get out the way

I want to take my time on Bromford
And give it meaning
They say you get what you deserve
I know the feeling, feeling, feeling

You've gotta walk onto that stage like it's your destiny
Stand and tell the truth, make no apology
If tomorrow you should die, these are your memories
You've gotta take this simple life and make history

How I Met My Mother ... Part 2

 
Every time I asked my Mum and Dad from whom I inherited my water pale eyes and my white skin they told me it ran in the family generations and generations ago for they had dark eyes, skin and hair.

They kept telling me that lie until that day my Dad answered my question by singing an old Genesis song.

"You're no son, you're no son of mine."

Imagine my surprise when my Mum joined the chorus when I turned to her.

"You're no son, you're no son of mine."

That was where and when the search for my Mum began. But how I finally met her is another story which should be told another time.

But the search for my mother ended here as well because none of this ever happened. Nothing ever happens. Nothing happens at all.

AND HAVE YOU FED THE FISH ???

And in five months, it's Christmas...

And no trace of a llama anywhere.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 503 & Part 504

 

Today is Monday, the 5th of October 2026.

Leo Tolstoy said, 'If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.'

Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl, tried to teach his followers.

Leo, the twenty-three lions wondered, isn't that Klingon for lion? Hey, guys. Hey, fellow-lions, I think this Toystol is one of us.

We would always prefer content to content, the fourteen foxes grinned.

And five more cows joined the twenty-seven water buffaloes, the nineteen oxen, the eleven hippopotamuses, the three rhinoceros, the twenty-six deer, the eighteen other horses, the ten leopards, the two more tigers, the twenty-five normal cats, the seventeen more dogs, the nine poodles, the one assistance dog, the twenty-three guide dogs, the fifteen orangutans, the seven gorillas, the thirty thirsty monkeys, 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"

Hey rusty sky
I've come to say goodbye
I see the hill, the sand
Where the angels tread
And as we drink and drown
Catch that mermaids sound
Rainy day sleep away
In the soft sand

I see you while you're sleeping
Drum my fingers
To the beat she's keeping
The soft parade, flowing
Drugged and tired
Thru that open door, yeah

Out of slavery
Out from the pouring rain
I don't know but I think
We've been here before
Wake me, so sullen
But sure
Things may go
But reoccur
That don't bother me no more
In the salt sand

I do feel you
Calling me
Coming thru
The soft parade flowing
Drugged and tired
Thru that open door yeah...
Bromford-Bromford-Bromford
If there's no sun out today
Bromford
Rainy day sleep it away

Hey rusty sky
I've come to say goodbye
I see the hill the sand
Where the angels tread
But as we drink and drown
Catch that mermaids sound
Rainy day sleep away
In the soft sand
Bromford

"Bromford Road"

Take me back to my Bromford road
Where the rain falls hard and the tear gas blows
I've been around the world and now I know
There ain't no place that smells like home

Down by the lake where I can grow

Take me back to the air so sweet
It smells like incense, sweat, and weed
I've been around the world and I trust my feet
To take me back where my old friends meet

Down by the lake where I can grow
Down by the lake where I can grow
Down by the lake where I can grow

Sirens in the dead of night
A boy got shot, oh, the mothers cry
We laid our flowers by the lake
God, He giveth, God, He takes

Take me back to the winter snow
To summer rain where grass can grow
Seasons come, let seasons go
There ain't no place that smells like
There ain't no place that feels like
There ain't no place that hurts like home
