Today is Saturday, the 25th of January 2025.
Mr. Twenty-Five? a little chick asked cautiously.
Yes? Twenty-Five the tawny owl replied.
Where are we going, Mr. Twenty-Five?
Why are you asking me, little chick?
My sister said we were following you because you were our Uhu.
Little dummy, one of the other chicks intervened, I said Guru. I said the tawny owl was our Guru.
I am not you guru, said Twenty-Five. And I don't know why you are following me.
And so twenty-five chicks joined the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"
I was converted to the other side
From the day I′d gotten there
I met a girl who took me on a ride
I was young I had no cares
When I moved to Bromford
Bromford
She played me records I had never heard
While we toked on purple hairs
Who, Zeppelin, Beatles, Kiss, The Rolling Stones
While we played guitars in air
When I moved to Bromford
Bromford
Bromford love
Venice Beach and P. O. P
Station 26 was free
Jeff Ho and Horizons west
Dogtown Skates they were the best
Hang Ten, O. P. were the brands
Don't forget the two-tone Vans
I miss the Apple and my schoolyard boys
Nothing ever will compare
But now I skateboard with my surfer girl
And we really are a pair
When I moved to Bromford
Bromford
Bromford
Bromford love
"Bromford Blues"
The sweet pretty things are in bed now of course
The city fathers they’re trying to endorse
The reincarnation of Paul Revere’s horse
But the town has no need to be nervous
The ghost of Belle Starr she hands down her wits
To Jezebel the nun she violently knits
A bald wig for Jack the Ripper who sits
At the head of the chamber of commerce
Mama’s in the factory
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin' for food
I am in the kitchen
With the Bromford blues
The hysterical bride in the penny arcade
Screaming she moans, “I’ve just been made”
Then sends out for the doctor who pulls down the shade
And says, “My advice is to not let the boys in”
Now the medicine man comes and he shuffles inside
He walks with a swagger and he says to the bride
“Stop all this weeping, swallow your pride
You will not die, it’s not poison”
Mama’s in the factory
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin' for food
I’m in the kitchen
With the Bromford blues
Well, John the Baptist, after torturing a thief
Looks up at his hero, the commander-in-chief
Saying, “Tell me, great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in?”
The commander-in-chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
And dropping a barbell, he points to the sky
Saying, "The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken"
Mama’s in the factory
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin' for food
I am in the kitchen
With the Bromford blues
The king of the Philistines his soldiers to save
Puts jawbones on their Bromfords and flatters their graves
Puts the pied pipers in prison and fattens the slaves
Then sends them out to the jungle
Gypsy Davey with a blowtorch he burns out their camps
With his faithful slave Pedro behind him he tramps
With a fantastic collection of stamps
To win friends and influence his uncle
Mama’s in the factory
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin' for food
I’m in trouble
With the Bromford blues
The geometry of innocent flesh on the bone
Causes Galileo’s math book to get thrown
At Delilah who's sitting worthlessly alone
But the tears on her cheeks are from laughter
Now I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill
I would set him in chains at the top of the hill
Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille
He could die happily ever after
Mama’s in the factory
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin' for food
I am in the kitchen
With the Bromford blues
Where Ma Rainey and Beethoven once unwrapped their bedroll
Tuba players now rehearse around the flagpole
And the National Bank at a profit sells road maps for the soul
To the old folks home and the college
Now I wish I could write you a melody so plain
That could hold you dear lady from going insane
That could ease you and cool you and cease the pain
Of your useless and pointless knowledge
Mama’s in the factory
She ain't got no shoes
Daddy’s in the alley
He’s lookin' for food
I am in the kitchen
With the Bromford blues
