Is a dog's life good or bad?
Is it more than bite and be bitten?

"Heaven's In Bromfod"

If it was my last day on earth
I'd treat it like my first
go out the way I came in
so innocent so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest be what I wanna be
Last day on earth I tell my momma don’t cry I'll see my daddy in paradise
Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk
but for now Heaven's in Bromfod
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh oh Heavens in Bromfod oh oh oh oh
First thing I'd do is go back in time take the twin towers, put it back in the skyline
Tell my girl two wrongs still don’t make a right
Make love for the last time under the candlelight
Pick up my hommies at the gentleman club after that hit
Club and Reminisce about the High School Days
Man I sucked as a quarterback remember getting sacked man almost broke my back yeah

If it was my last day on earth
I'd treat it like my first
go out the way I came in
so innocent so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest be what I wanna be

Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk
but for now Heaven's in Bromfod
Oh oh oh oh oh
Heaven’s In Bromfod oh oh oh oh oh
I tell the man get the people a tax break
kids stop shootin I can't sing in no more ways
I can't take the money with me so I caught a movie
Favorite actress Angelina Jolie
Favorite Singer has to be Marley
Turn Up the Bass
and move to his styling’s
can't leave without reading my daughter a bedtime story the heavens is calling
If it was my last day on earth
I'd treat it like my first
go out the way I came in
so innocent so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest be what I want to be
Last day on earth I tell my Homies don't cry I'm with my daddy in paradise
Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk
but for now
Heaven's in Bromfod
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Heavens in Bromfod
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Welcome to Bromfod City
Even though I walk through the Valley of Shadow of Death I fear No evil
For you are with me so tell my loves ones please don’t cry
Cause if doves can fly so can I
If it was my last day on earth
I'd treat it like my first
go out the way I came in
so innocent so pure with no thoughts of insecurity
Live life to the fullest be what I want to be
Last day on earth I tell my Homies don't cry I'm with my dad in paradise
Where the blind can see, the mute can talk, the crippled can walk

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 256

 Today is Sunday, the 23rd of July 2023.

I declare this year the Year of the Dogs...
Time for that poodle to see his hairdresser...

🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩🐩


"Bromford Bromford"

Bromford City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
Bromford City is my favorite place
'Cause I know so many people with a golden face, uh-huh

It's always late at night when I want to go out
And Bromford City has for sure the horniest crowd
Especially for me this is true
I have the best time when you're there too

After the show, when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street (oh, oh, oh, oh)

We are going to another disco
Disco after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up

Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford, yeah!

Bromford City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room, uh-huh
Bromford City is a place so nice
Everybody says it so they had to name it twice

Bromford, my heart belongs to you, I love you very much
I could not live without you, so let's always keep in touch
Bromford City has the fanciest rule
When you want to live in this town, you just have to be a fool

After the show when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street (oh, oh, oh, oh)

We are going to another disco
Disco after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up

Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford
Bromford, Bromford, yeah

It's going hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop
Straight up to the top
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop
Straight up to the top
Let there be light
'Cause David Bowie's gonna be here tonight in Bromford
I create ecstasy in my world
I know who I am
And I am willing to declare myself to the world
I am a star!
In Bromford

R aces …

 
»Bromford?« Kylie is whispering. »Are you in there?«

»Why are you whispering, mum?« Nigel is asking by her side.

»We are inside a creepy hedge labyrinth, can't you see son? It's getting dark and darker in here as the living walls are growing high and higher. And I think I saw something moving quickly around that bend straight ahead.«

»Creatures of night, brought to light!«

»Did you hear that?« Kylie is turning and looking around quick and hectically.

»No, you demon-sheep, I will not call you Mr. Tumbleweed!«

»Bromford?« now Nigel is also whispering. »I can hear him. He must be close but I cannot see him.«

»It is all your fault, Kylie  Kingslayer.«

That is a dark voice speaking and coming directly from laurel leaves around them.

Mother and son are looking at each other, their lips forming the word.

Kingslayer?

»Kylie, remember when you spoke these words,

I can bear it no longer!
Goblin King! Goblin King!
Wherever you may be
take this Bromford of mine far away from me!

And these weren't even the right words.«

»Sounds kind of familiar«, Kylie wonders.

»Why did you say such a thing?« Nigel asks.

»I didn't.«

»Come to meet Jareth, the King of the Goblins, who is living in the castle beyond the Goblin City beyond the labyrinth«, the voice from the laurel leaves is trying to lure them deeper into the maze.

You have thirteen hours to solve the labyrinth - before your Bromford friend becomes one of us goblins for ever. Down in the underground.«

»Oh, come on«, Nigel complains. »What kind of quest is this again? And do the brenches and leaves in the hedge-wall in front of us really form a pointing arrow and the words

THIS WAY?«

»OK, if there is no other way«, Kylie gives in sighing deeply, »let's go, son.«

And after a while she adds,

»And just in case we really have to meet and face the Goblin King at the end of our journey, you have to learn these words and spell,

Give me the Bromford.
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered
I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City
to take back the friend you have stolen.
For my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom is as great.
You have no power over me.«

Somewhere in a distance a laughter can be heard that sounds like the baaing of a sheep.

***

Bored of the life in the City of Gold
He'd left and let nobody know.
Gone were the towers he had known from a child,
Alone with the dream of a life
He travelled the wide open road,
The blinkered arcade,
In search of another to share in his life.
Nowhere.
Everyone looked so strange to him.

They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence.
Am I wrong to believe in a City of Gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried

And wept as they led him away to a cage
Beast that can talk, read the sign.
The creatures they pushed and they prodded his frame
And questioned his story again.
But soon they grew bored of their prey
Beast that can talk?
More like a freak or publicity stunt.
Oh
No.

They've got no horns and they've got no tail
They don't even know of our existence.
Am I wrong to believe in a City of Gold
That lies in the deep distance, he cried

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 255

Today is Saturday, the 15th of July 2023.

"Big Bromford Sky"

In all those deserted farms I searched for you
In the driving rain most nights feeling like a ghost
Moving unseen and through every street of dreams
Then I saw you one day laughing under that big Bromford sky

After you went away I thought I'd never see your face again
Ships that pass in the night
Thought I'd make my way up north, go get a steady job
Work with my hands if the occasion called

But the West Texas wind
Kept calling me back
Through China-town and up the East River
To that big Bromford sky

I knew I'd find you in a bar some place
Pretending you never knew the stranger at the door
But the other customers were wise to that game
I knew you'd come running sooner or later

But not because of my sweet longing arms
And not because of the way I held you that night

E arns …

»You are what? A faun?«

Birds are flying flapping up in the air.

Kylie is looking up from the circle of stones and stepping closer to her son Nigel.

»Did you hear that?« she asks.

»Sounded like Bromford«, says Nigel, »somewhere behind those hedges.«

»A dial«, Claude Sideburns who is not a professor for archeology mumbles,
»I want to see it as and call it a dial from now on. All that missing is the code.
We have to find the right positions…«

»Is that a pan flute?« Kylie asks her son. »Do you hear the pan flute?«

»Must be an amateur playing«, Nigel answers. »I don't like the pan flute.«

"Bromford Avenue"

Holding your hand
Cut grass heaven
Walk in the park
Sky is the limit, pa
High lives in high places
Wish it could last forever
You had your leather coat on
In the pavement heat
Bikes to Kew Gardens
Back for tea
You said

Cut grass heaven
Walk in the park
Sky is the limit, pa
You had your leather coat on

G aberdines …

»Can you feel the time fly by, Bromford Bibble?«

The black sheep that wants me to call it Mr. Tumbleweed is still talking to me.

»Another full moon is rising. See the Buck Moon, Bromford Bibble. They call it the Buck Moon.«

»Oh, dear«, I whisper, »more deer. Will we see Harry Potter's corporeal Patronus now?«

»Don't be ridiculous, Bromford Bibble.«

Is the sheep losing its' temper?

»We are talking about bucks here, not about stags.«

Are we?

A doe? After all this time? Always…

Creatures of night, brought to light!

»Bored of the life in the City of Gold

»Where is Bromford Bibble?« Kylie asks.

»Hasn't each and every one of us already asked that question, Missy?« the llama answers.

»I think he went in there.«

Nigel is pointing at the laurel hedges.

»Didn't know we had a hedge labyrinth on our property«, Claude Sideburns says to Gilbert, the butler, and Hildegard, the housekeeper, his parents.

»We didn't have a hedge labyrinth near Brompton Castle when we stepped outside the library, I think.«

Hildegard is scratching her forehead.

And with a faint howling the air in the front yard is suddenly freezing cold like a pile of open iceboxes.
