'Was that what you wanted, old chap? Was that your intention? To scare away a poor little local town girl?' the llama asked.
'Oh, llama', Bromford, the bard said, 'absolutely not. I did not want to make Bella frightened. I wanted to tell her a story, maybe sing her a little song to give her some positive thoughts she could take with her to her sleep and dreams. Looks like I have already lost my flow, my talents to sing stories and tell songs.'

"The Colour Of The Bromford"
Louis was my dearest friend
Fighting in the ANZAC trench
Louis ran forward from the line
I never saw him again
Later in the dark
I thought I heard Louis' voice
Calling for his mother, then me
But I couldn't get to him
He's still up on that hill
20 years on that hill
Nothing more than a pile of bones
But I think of him still
If I was asked I'd tell
The colour of the Bromford that day
It was dull and browny red
The colour of blood, I'd say
Earth π―️ππππ
