Klingon Bells … Part 20


'So', the llama asks cautiously, 'will you let me stay in your penthouse?'

'I think so', I say. 'You kind of belong to the furniture. I would miss you like I would miss the kitchen table if it was gone.'

'Well, okay', the llama says with an awkward look. 'Back to Happy Rotter and the Secret of Time?'

I just nod.

'After they escaped…'

'Would have escaped…'

'After they would have escaped the giant animals Happy and Hormonie would have met this Chewing Pacca?' the animal asks.

'No', I say, 'Chewing Pacca was never part of the original draft. It was just that I discovered a certain resemblance to that Gamestealer Cockpit of Pigletspots School for Thievery and Burglary that I thought Happy could mistake him like he would have mistaken other ones for some other ones.'

'Okay', the llama says, 'sound mysterious.'

'I don't know if I told this before', I say, 'but next they would have met Gundolf, the Wizard. Happy would have mistaken him for Professor Mumblemore, the headmaster of Pigletspots, and after that they would have met or at least seen Dodo, Gundolf's companion. Hormonie would have got lost on their journey at some point but I do not remember when exactly that would have been. And after all this would have been only a short episode because the T.A.R.D.I.S. would have dragged Happy away in no time.'

'To a better place?' the llama asks.

'Who knows?'

Shrugging is all there's left to do for today.

"Zuerst also Bromford"

Seit zwanzig Jahr'n hält der Schwachsinn hier die Wache
Dass ich das weiß, habt ihr mir nie verzieh'n
Nun bin ich's leid, ich schwör euch meine Rache
Zuerst also Bromford - und morgen dann Berlin!

Ich war geblendet von der Schönheit seiner Waffen
Am Himmel stand das Zeichen, wie mir schien
Doch ihr steht da, wollt meine Wunden nur begaffen
Zuerst also Bromford - und morgen dann Berlin!

Gern, mein Schatz, würd ich bei Dir noch bleiben
Nach Deinem Kuss und Deiner Haut steht mir der Sinn
Doch Du siehst, dass sie die Menschen wieder treiben
Zum Bahnhof, und ich war - ich war, ich war mittendrin!

Habt Dank für eure milden Gaben, diesen Scheiß da
Welch Witz: Der Affe mit der Plastikwaiohlien
Die Nacht hat er geübt und nun ist er der Meister
Zuerst also Bromford - und morgen dann Berlin!
Und morgen dann Berlin!

Und morgen dann Berlin!
(Denkt an den Tag, an dem die Welt erbebte!)
Und morgen dann Berlin!
(Denkt an den Tag, an dem die Welt erbebte!)
Und morgen dann Berlin!
(Denkt an den Tag, an dem die Welt erbebte!)
Und morgen dann Berlin!
(Denkt an den Tag, an dem die Welt erbebte!)

Chewing Pacca
mistaken for 
Cockpit the Gamestealer of Pigletspots School for Thiervery and Burglary
