Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 507 & Part 508

 
Today is Wednesday, the 21st of October 2026.

Ignore every shout about War,
Drop the stubborn old block of a Stone,
Skip Paradise skies,
And sweet Valentine sighs,
To speak in a breeze of our own!

What is that?, asked the four pandas. Another philosophical quote?

No, only a few words to hide my own ignorance, said Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl. Here comes the real quote,

'Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action', as William James once said.

Is he trying to hide that Valentine is also a city name?, asked some of the chicks the other chicks.

And the other chicks said, Now we are ignoring War and Stone and Paradise, and Valentine is a town in Jeff Davis County, Texas, United States of Trumperica.

And fourteen foxes wondered, Who wants to be our Valentine?

And twenty-one rams joined the other pigs, 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…

"Made In Bromford"

My girl is looking like Jane Bond now
My girl is looking like Jane Dean
She wants to be a superhero
And I'm in love with her indeed

She has a russian laser pistol
She fights the aliens from Mars
She works for the secret service
That's why she often meets some stars

She is my girl
Made in Bromford
So take me to the place I long to be
She is the girl
Living in Oklahoma
Why are you so far away from me?

She goes to model competitions
Don't need no dresser of hair
She often leaves me feeling lonely
And keeps me waiting in despair

She is my girl
Made in Bromford
So take me to the place I long to be
She is the girl
Living in Oklahoma
Why are you so far away from me?

(Shake it shake it I need some surfing wax, Baby)

She is my girl
Made in Bromford
So take me to the place I long to be
She is the girl
Living in Oklahoma
Why are you so far away from me?















"Bromford Street"

You asked for me
"Always"
This blasphemy
"Always"

Woke up missing Trina's lighter
Woke up missing Bodhi's laughter
Those early roses, dirty hope is sun
A saint's a sinner with the odd glimmer of fun

Buying slips in the Irish Channel
Broken prince in fluorescent camo

Woke up missing Trina's lighter
Woke up missing Bodhi's laughter
Those early roses, dirty hope is sun
A saint's a sinner with the odd glimmer of fun

(Sun, sun)
Woke up early, bright and horny
(Sun)
Rose early to greet the dawning
Early roses, dirty hope is sun
Early roses, dirty hope is sun

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.
