Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 71


'Heute ist Donnerstag, der 08. August 2019,' the llama says. 'Donnerstag ist Quiztag! Rate die Stadt!'

'What is this?' I am in shock. 'What are you saying? Demon llama! Demon llama!'

'Demon llama?' the llama shouts. 'Where? Where?'

Then after a short while of noisy mayhem and confusion the animal continues, 'Calm down, old chap. It was just a joke. It is me, KussKuss, your friendly neighbourhood llama. I was just practicing some Klingon language.'

'OK,' I say. 'But please don't ever do that again. Or will you?'


"Marching Bands Of Bromford"

If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Bromford
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson

If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through allies and bounce off all the buildings

I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you

And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty and half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty and half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty and half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin hole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty and half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna
