Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 337 & Part 338

Today is Monday, the 10th of February 2025.

No, no, no, said the little tawny owl. Not ten more chicks. You cannot come with us. You are hardly hatched, still rolling in your eggshells. Stay where you are, mature and come with us as a little more adult birds.

That's ageism! cheeped one of the first twenty-five chicks.

Little chicks can go everywhere they want, added one of the second two chicks. Little chicks are strong! Little chicks will rule the world!

Stay where you are then go back to the car, said one of the penguins.

You walker birds are talking so much nonsense. Wanna-be-waiters, chipped the little red cardinal birds addressing the penguins.

What a bunch of feathers and what a crazy chicken coop, thought Twenty-Five, our little tawny owl.

And so ten more chicks joined the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks ,the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds and the one little tawny owl…

"Have You Ever Been To Bromford?"

Have you ever been to Bromford?
Have you ever been to Bromford?
Those Arkansas women
Born with beauty and grace

Up in the Ozark Mountains
The one they call Betty Jean
You can see God's country
Put a smile on your face

It's the land of my family
Down in Cleveland County
It's where my mama and daddy were born
Where the singin' pines grow

They got some hot spring water
Down in the Ouachita country
Wash away your misery
You feel like Henry Ford

Right off the scenic highway
Shake the hand of a farmer
Have a cool watermelon that weighs a hundred pounds
And in the Mississippi Delta land
They're growing rice and cotton
In the fields all week long
Saturday night in town

Yes, I love my people
And I'm proud of my raisin'
Sweet Arkansas memories until they leave me down

Have you ever been to Bromford?
Have you ever been to Bromford?
Those Arkansas women
Born with beauty and grace























"Collapse The Light Into Bromford"

I won't shiver in the cold
I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the dark
And I won't forget you when we part

Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford

I won't heal given time
I won't try to change your mind
I won't feel better in the cold light of day
But I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay

Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford
Collapse the light into Bromford
