Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 457 & Part 458

Today is Monday, the 15th of June 2026

 
Horizon City is a town in Texas, whereas Texas is a town in Wisconsin, said Twenty-Five, our little tawny owl.

Why are you telling us that?, asked the seven little red birds.

Just because I felt like I had to, mumbled the owl.

'Talk of mysteries! - Think of our life in nature, - daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it, - rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! The solid earth! The actual world! The common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? Where are we?' the seventeen penguins trumpeted.

Said who?, asked the twenty-five chicks.

Said you?, asked the two chicks.

Said Henry David Thoreau, said the penguins.

Look who's talking, snapped the twelve hipster-cats. Penguins talking about trees feel like penguins talking about flying.

Don't fight, said the tawny owl, secretly annoyed about the other animals starting and continuing quoting quotes.

And fifteen orangutons joined the the seven gorillas, the thirty thirsty monkeys, the twenty-two dragons, the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford Rangers"

Look can you see things when they show you
What they want you to know

Watch what you don't see on the TV
When they hide the truth

Feel how it hurts you when the truth hides
In between the scenes

Cry from the broken hearted melody
That you hear in your dreams

Whoa it's a runaway, can you catch it?
It's not in your hands

Slow, easy does it
When you find out what deception means

Try, try to change it 'cause it hurts you
And it holds back your dreams

Dreams of a new world evolution of the species
To survive truth that screams

Call in the darkness for the moment
A clear thinking joy

Laugh, when you find out that the story that's spoken
Has broken like a toy

Lost in the sandbox just left there
For no one to enjoy

Found by the police who killed it
Were filmed on the phone

Bromford Rangers had to ride in
To the rescue of all that's well and good

Bromford Rangers in pickups
Painted silver with bulldogs on the hood

Bromford Rangers come to save you
Come to rescue the bad and the good

Bromford Rangers (On the backroads) and the freeways
And in your neighborhood

Bromford Rangers
Bromford Rangers
Bromford Rangers
Ha!
Bromford Rangers

"That Girl From Bromford, Texas"

I say, "God, if You ain't smiling on me, then you ain't no friend of mine"
It's late at night and this motel room's drunk
I been listening to the lonesome wind crying

My best friend once said, Jim, what you cling to
That's the thing that you had best forget
For ain't no rose bed ever gonna bloom in an untended field of regrets

Guess, I been busy killing time, counting bullet holes in state line signs
I led a life of lonely drifting, trying to rise above the buzzards in my mind
You get dizzy chasing 'round the tail of what you need to leave behind
Oh, sweet Jesus, won't you help me?
'Cause all I'm trying to do is plant them seeds of love
With that girl from Bromford, Texas

Midnight radio, a crackly, white gospel station kicking out the sounds
Of some half-assed revival, me, I never much cared for the feelings
You get quoting scriptures from out of the Bible

For as the crow flies, I know only one cure for a permanent tear in your eye
You gotta crank like hell, that rope on old sorrow's well
'Til the day that the bucket comes up dry

Guess, I been busy killing time, counting bullet holes in state line signs
I led a life of lonely drifting, trying to rise above the buzzards in my mind
You get dizzy chasing 'round the tail of what you need to leave behind
Oh, sweet Jesus, won't you help me?
'Cause all I'm trying to do is plant them seeds of love
With that girl from Bromford, Texas

Now, dreams are just prayers, without the put on airs
And though my history of dreams is a scandal of backassward schemes
And romantic disasters, where Lord, You dealt me more cards than I could handle

Still from the lips of this half-hearted sinner
Comes the pledge of a half baked saint
'Cause Lord, I might finally be willing to become the religious fool
You always wanted me to be, if in return, we could just tell that girl
I'm the man, You and me both know that I ain't

Guess, I been busy killing time, counting bullet holes in state line signs
I led a life of lonely drifting, trying to rise above the buzzards in my mind
You get dizzy chasing 'round the tail of what you need to leave behind
Oh, sweet Jesus, won't you help me?
'Cause all I'm trying to do is plant them seeds of love
With that girl from Bromford, Texas

Now, dreams are just prayers, without the put on airs
And though my history of dreams is a scandal of backassward schemes
And romantic disasters, where Lord, You dealt me more cards
Than I could handle

'Cause Lord, I might finally be willing to become the religious fool
You always wanted me to be, if in return, we could just tell that girl

Bromford and Lion …

 

»Ion like a lion in Zion. «

Is the llama singing?

»The circle of life… It's the wheel of fortune… «

»Stop singing, animal. And it is Iron, Like A Lion, In Zion. Not Ion. «

»Why should a lion iron something? They don't like their shirts flat. They don't even wear shirts most of time. Or any other clothes. Am I nervous? Do you ask me if I am nervous, dude? The answer is, YES! Do I think a lion in a penthouse is a good idea? The answer is definitely, NO! «

»The song goes, I'm gonna be Iron, like a Lion, in Zion, « I think.

But I feel like we had this discussion before.

»In the jungle, the mighty jungle,
the lion sleeps tonight? «

The llama is jumping up and down on the couch and is making all feathers squeak.

»I am sorry, pal, « I turn to the lion who is standing in the door to the livingroom. »I think, it will not work out with us. «

»No worries, dude, « the big cat is grinning brightly. »Hakuna matata, as we say down by the waterhole. If the glove does not fit… «

And on bouncing feet he leaves the apartment.

The llama is now running around the couch in a strange and only kind of understandable panic.

Why again did I have this feeling, the animal had become the straight and serious part in this relationship of us?

And I blame it on the weather that the llama is starting a weird and donkey-like hooting now.

»Wee-hee-hee-hee, dee hee-hee-hee-hee
Wee-oh aweem away
Wee-hee-hee-hee, dee hee-hee-hee-hee
Wee-oh aweem away

A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh
A-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh «

Bromford and Parrot …

 

»I am running out of options, animal, « I say.

The llama is adjusting its earplugs.

»YOU HAVE TO TALK LOUDER, DUDE! « the animal yells at me. »I CAN HARDLY UNDERSTAND YOU. «

I shout back, »I AM RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS, ANIMAL. CANDIDATES FOR MY NEXT BEST ANIMAL COMPANION AND DATES ARE GETTING FEWER. MAYBE I SHOULD START LOOKING FOR MORE CONVENTIONAL PETS! «

»LIKE A PARROT, FOR EXAMPLE, DUDE? «

»Like a parrot, « I whisper to myself.

»POLLY WANTS A CRACKER !!! « 

the parrot squeels.

I look at the llama. The llama looks at me. I simply nod in agreement.

The llama opens the glassdoor to the roof terrace.

»FLY, YOU FOOL! « the animal shouts at the parrot. »SEEK FREEDOM! «

The parrot squeels a last long and loud squeel. Then the bold birds takes off into the air towards Bromford Bay.

The llama takes out the earplugs.

»That was loud, « the animal says. »And I never liked that Nirvana song, anyway. «

Bromford and Beaver …

 

# You are no beaver, Bromford Bibble. You are no magician, no wizard. And definitely no animagus who went to school with Harry Potter.

- Are you a llama, llama?

# I do not understand your question, dude.

- Llamas do not use human language. Llamas do not talk to humans. But maybe I am a special type of wizard. I am a llamatongue. Very rare. I can talk to and understand llamas. Just look at this cute little guy. You simply have to love this beaver.

# Another rodent?

- Once, in the year twenty-ten, there were Olympic Winter Games in Canada. And in the opening ceremony the Canadians released the Canadian equivalents of white Peace Doves. They let hundreds of beavers fly. And the beavers ate the wooden tribunes in the stadium, the grandstands and bleachers.

# Now, you are talking about an episode of The Simpsons TV show, dude.

- TV is dead, animal. Although The Simpsons are visionaries, or they were visionaries. So you don't think a beaver is a good animal companion?

# Not in a penthouse above the fifteenth floor of an apartment building on 666 Whitaker Lane in Bromford, the friendly town by the bay and seaside.

- What about our plan to turn the sky above the skyscrapers into one giant aquarium? What about the Age of Aquarium?

# That was always your plan alone, dude.

- Magic has somehow lost its Hogwarts, llama. The Wizarding World has lost its innocence. And I have lost my animagus ability to turn into a beaver when I stopped practicing. And where is my wand?

# I don't know, dude. I don't know. But your beaver friend is eating our furniture.

Today is Sunday, the 7th of June 2026.

'Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers,' said Marshall McLuhan, said Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl.

He said 'mists', said the lions.

I see no 'mists', said the tigers.

Only 'conformists', grinned the foxes.

I see seven gorillas', the little red birds tweeted. Are they Gorillas in the Mist?

They are gorillas in the conformists, the thirty thirsty monkeys slurred their words.

But no animal took them seriously.

And seven gorillas joined the thirty thirsty monkeys, the twenty-two dragons, the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"

We met at Amys party
I stick with Chuck cause he brings me luck, Chuck whats up
With the girl over there, with the hair, she likes you.

You're not from around here, you come from a place where stars at night
are big and bight, you're light, it blinds me.

Put me on a plane. I am not afraid.
Just don't tell me, that you're leaving.

Take me back to Bromford with you.

I think I missed the last train,
If I could just sleep here on the floor,
I promise I will will expect more.
This reminds me of high school
Or maybe what high school would have been,
If you were there and I were cooler.

Put me on the plane, I am not ashamed.
Just don't tell me that you're leaving.

Take me back to Bromford with you.
Take me back to Bromford with you.
Take me back to Bromford with you, girl. Girl.

Bromford and Rat …

 

Deep inside my heart I have always been a true punk, with colourful hair, eccentric clothes and a nice little pet rat. I would have called him Stinker. But not because he actually stinked but because it is a cute little name.

The llama is looking over my shoulder on the laptop screen, once more.

»So, your rodant days have begun, dude? « the animal asks.

Then it gives me an unwanted and unasked advice,

»Delete that post, dude. It could start a riot. You are nothing like a punk at all. «

Drops the mic and leaves the stage.

⁉⁉⁉

Today is Wednesday, the 3rd of June 2026.

Bromford and Tribble …

 

»Is your razor broken, dude? « asks the llama.

»I prefer to call it my shaver, animal, « I reply, »and it is not broken. This three-day stubble is my new look. «

»I know your shaving routines, dude, « says the llama, »that is more like a three-week stubble in your face. And your hair hasn't seen the hairdressers in a long time, either. «

»Same, same. «

»And are you wearing fur balls now? Didn't PETA teach you anything? People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals? Does it ring a bell? All these nude and shaved people and celebrities on the posters in the "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign in the 1990s? Was all their shivering in vain? Dude, I was about to found a new organization. AETP - Animals for the Ethical Treatment of People. And after all of these activists days you are standing here in your apartment wearing that strange blue sweater with brown fur pompoms sewn on some very weird places? «

»They are no pompoms and they are not sewn, animal, « I say calmly.

»Dude? « The animal is shocked. »Are they moving? ARE THEY ALIVE? «

»They are the next candidates for becoming my new animal companions, « I say. »We just need to talk about and work on their reproduction rate, I think. There was only one of them only half an hour ago. «

»What are they? « asks the llama. »Guinea pigs? «

»No, animal, they are Tribbles. Alien life forms on some kind of a Star Trek in space and on a mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before! Like Earth, for example. And they are too cute and fluffy and fuzzy. Just hearing their sounds is making you feel calm and all relaxed. You just have to try it. «

All this time the brown fur balls had been softly cooinging, gently purring and started vibrating trillings. But as the llama approaches they are uttering agitated squeals while shying  away and trying to hide behind my back.

»What is wrong with you, animal? « I shout at the llama. »Why are you scaring them? Are you a Klingon? Leave! Go away! Tribbles hate Klingons. «

The llama is rolling its eyes.

»Beam me up, Scotty. There is no intelligent life on this planet. «

Blue Moon … Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 453 & Part 454

 

Blue Moon

I'm so tired of being alone
These penitent walls are all I've known
The songbird calling
Across the water
Outside my silent asylum

Oh, don't leave me on my own
Left me standing all alone

Today is Sunday, the 31st of May 2026.
Blue MOON

May Day! May Day!

A second full MOON in the month of May.

That's what they call a Blue MOON. A year with thirteen full MOONs? Month? A period of time the authors named after the MOON, our silent companion.

You cannot measure time, Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl, thinks. You cannot press time into the cage or corset of a calender or one month. And you most definatley cannot turn back the time.

May. Day. Say. Stay. Away.

"Rock Of Bromford"

Let me say this to you
I'll be steadfast and true
And my love will never falter

The sea would crash about us
The waves would lash about us
I'll be your Rock of Bromford

Sometimes it's hard
And we're both caught off guard
But there's nothing I would ever alter

The wind could howl round our ears
For the next thousand years
I'd still be your Rock of Bromford

The best thing I done
Was to make you the one
Who I'd walk with down to the altar

You'd stand by me
And together we'd be
That great, steady Rock of Bromford

Under the big yellow MOON
On our honeyMOON
I took you on a trip to Malta

And all through the night
You held me so tight
Your great, steady Rock of Bromford

Could the powers that be
Ever foresee
That things could so utterly alter?

All the plans that we laid
Could soon be betrayed
Betrayed like the Rock of Bromford

"Bromford Breezes"

It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door

When you're really half a world away
I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for
To say the things that I want to say
I can't remember when I felt so close to you
It's almost more than I can bear
Though I seem a half a million miles from you
You are in my heart and living there

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford

There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park
And lovers who walk all alone
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark
And lovers who long for home
I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to
You're in my dreams and always near
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you
You are in my heart and living there

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford

Bromford breezes, cool and clearing
Evening's sweet caress
Bromford breezes, soft and gentle
Remind me of your tenderness

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford

And the MOON and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Bromford
Just like the breezes here in old Bromford

Today is Saturday, the 30th of May 2026.

Socrates said, 'Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.', said Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl.

Why?, asked the seven wolves.

Shush!, shushed the six unicorns. Or you will wake the dragons.

And thirty thirsty monkeys joined the twenty-two dragons, the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"

Illumed for promise
Due as bound
Commonly in circles I ache as ignite
Time's by essence
Heat by flint
Would I yearn for tenderness
A light within

Here I fought for you
A pall as cast and through
Though danger said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone

As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord have mercy on my soul

A screen but captures you
In thrall yet ghost's remove
With languor said I'd be reborn
We live and ride alone

As the river rolls
As thе river rolls
As the river rolls
As thе river rolls
Lord help me from my soul
As the river rolls
As the river rolls
Lord help me save my soul

You dare not follow
You dare not follow
You dare not follow
As the river rolls
As the river rolls

"Sweet Home Bromford"

Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Well, do you remember when the steel mill shut down
We had to go in the country, mama, 'cause you couldn't live in town
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Well, do you remember baby back in 1934
You had the nerve to tell your daddy
That you didn't want him no more
Ride on - baby, don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Ride on - baby don't you wanna go
Back to the same old place - sweet home Bromford

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 449 & Part 450

 

Today is Friday, the 22nd of May 2026.

And then there was the story about the dragon who wanted to send the llama on a journey with thirteen wizards to steal back an ancient treasure from an evil dwarf who had unlawfully taken possession of it, two of the chicks said.

Is there a llama in this group?, the astro-cats wanted to know.

No, the ten more chicks said, but the tawny owl should tell that story.

And the first twenty-five chicks squeeked, We all need more stories with llamas as protagonists.

You don't even know what protagonists are, you little chicks, the wolves grinned.

And Twenty-Five, our tawny owl, thought, I cannot keep all of this together. It's getting wild and wilder every night or as Fyodor Dostoevsky once wrote, 'The wisest of all, in my opinion, is he who can, if only once a month, call himself a fool - a faculty unheard of nowadays.'

And out of the middle of nowhere twenty-two dragons joined the fourteen hens, the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

Well, I thought that this was half a love
Well, I thought that this was half a love, love
Follow to the rising sea
Well, I thought that this was half a love

Well, I thought that this was half a love
Well, I thought that this was half a love
Follow to the rising sea

"Bromfordtown"

Go on girl, grab the lifeline
Build a bridge for those left behind
Will I freeze or fawn, will I fight or flight?
Take flight
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing when the day is
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done


Going up to Bromfordtown
Gonna meet some bears there
I have not been allowed to see
Them in years now
They introduce me to a King Triton
He seems to know a gay witch
Who hails from Brooklyn
So when he casts a circle to call in the spirit
That will give advice if you don't even ask for it


He says, "Go on girl, grab the lifeline
Build a bridgе for those left behind
Will I freezе or fawn, will I fight or flight?
Take flight
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing when the day is
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done


The witch from Brooklyn said
"You need your dragon kin
Only they can save you now
'Cause you're turning into one of them
So you'll head down south on a turbo
Bike with the gasoline girls
'Cause back there in a mountain town
Is your daughter
Then you'll find a high priestess
Who will lead you through a vampire revue
Down in New Orleans"


"Go on girl, grab the lifeline
Then build a bridge for those left behind
Will I freeze or fawn, will I fight or flight?
Take flight
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing?
I wanna know, I wanna know
Will I still be standing when the day is
Day is done

 MUTANTS!

- DOLPHINS!

# MUTANTS!

Isn't that a bit Christian? the eighteen bats grinned.

No, the name is Tori, not Christian, the fourteen hens uttered waiting beside the zebra crossing to … well … cross the street. And why did the hens cross the street? Because they wanted to get to the other side.

Fourteen hens, the fifteen scorpions remarked, at last! But aren't fourteen hens a little too little for the thirty-seven chicks?

A little too little?, the seven wolves howled, Those Scorpions should have stayed stayed in Hangover.

And Twenty-Five, our little tawny owl, looked up the skies and heaven above and thought, Frank Lloyd Wright once said, 'I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.'

And fourteen hens joined the six unicorns, the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

Bromford and Rhino …

 

»Did you know that rhinos are originally from central Europe? «

»Says who, animal? «

»I may have heard or read that in one of those animal documentaries you get everywhere these days. «

»Are you making fun of that fantastic and realistic nature doc in this blockblog of mine from last Saturday? You are disrespectful towarsa all gnus, lionesses, meerkats and warthogs involved in that story, animal. So disrespectful. «

»A million years ago the mighty rhinos lived on the banks of the river Rhine near the city of Rheinberg. Their horns and skins were made of rhinestone and they settled all over the federal state of Rheinland Quartz, before a rhyming rhinovirus forced them to go south. «

»Don't be ridiculous, animal. First of all they are called rhinoceroses… «

»And second? Are they all mutants like the one in your picture? «

»What do you mean by mutants, animal? «

»Mutants like Wolverine, Sabretooth, the Lizard or Beast. Or do all rhinos have three horns and two eyes on one side of the head? «

»I have never thought about that, animal. Never thought about it. «

»This world needs more rhinestones, if you want my opinion… «

Bromford and Crocodile …

 

»See you later alligator, … «

»… after 'while crocodile? Come on, dude. Is that all you can think of after you have taken pictures with crocodiles? «

»Come on… yourself, animal.  That's all thinking of you will get for this muddy Monday … «

»You mean moody Monday? «

»Whatever. «

Bromford and Gnu …

 

It is early morning in the savannah. A single old male gnu steps out of the dry grass towards the waterhole without noticing the hunting pride of three lionesses. Every step closer to the water also brings the hidden huntresses closer. Watch out, Gnu! They are stalking you!

On the other side of the waterhole, a meerkat and a warthog are looking up, turning their heads from side to side. Something is wrong! They lower their breakfast made of slimy worms and crunchy beetles which tastes a bit like chicken. Slowly, they back into the tall grass to hide.

Just to return with a theatrical jump, waving jazz-hands, and bursting into song:

🎵 Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase
Hakuna matata, ain't no passin' craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna matata 🎵

☣ ☣ ☣

»And in the jungle, the lion sleeps tonight? «

The llama is interrupting my early morning train of thoughts.

»Spoilsport, « I mumble.

»And what is wrong with that gnu in the picture, dude? Who is the man? Who is the gnu? Which is which? And who is who?«

»Maybe it is a were-gnu, a man by day and a gnu in the pale moonlight. One morning a gnu got bitten by a man, or a man got bitten by a gnu one night, all by the waterhole in the savannah. And now they are cursed to turn into eachother every now and than. «

»You are talking a lot of shit, dude! Gnu-shit! «

»Animal! Watch you mouth! Or we will have to wash it with soap.«

»Ah, bite me! « the animal remarks and walks out on the rooftop terrace.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 445 & Part 446

 

Today is Wednesday, the 6th of May 2026.

Thank you. If you appreciate the tuning so much I hope you'll enjoy the playing more.

Twenty-Five, our little tawny owl, was wearing an imaginary tailcoat like a penguin suit and bowing to an imaginary audience like a conductor.

Or, as Jack Kerouac once said, 'Happiness consists in realizing it is all a great strange dream.'

And the seventeen penguins articulated soundless words with their beaks, What is wrong with him?

And so six unicorns joined the twenty-eight horses, the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford"

Brand new popes and kings
Owning all the things
I need to survive
If i am alive
It will be made
And fully paid
But bought instead
Of breaking bread
Danton waking me
Texting on t.v
About a place that’s real
But close enough to feel
It in my brain
A rolling pain
Of churning dread
Inside my head
God is pumping me all full of lead
Oh no!
Here comes Robespierre
But i’m too tired to care
He came to k!ll the king
So kiss his freedom ring
Like only he
Can truly see
The way to be
For really free
To live beyond your means
But beneath your being
Stay hungry to believe
In messianic thieves
Who feel that free
Post-human beings
Can eat and breathe
Believe in bread
God is pumping me all full of lead
What’s unloading on me’s filling up my soul
But i’m not dead
Just full of lead
Is reloading Jeremiah’s broken yoke
But i’m not dead
Jeremiah
Just full of lead
Jeremiah
Oh yeah!
Pirates, popes, and kings
Repeat everything
Century 21
Flux and opinion
Before my eyes
And in disguise
But it’s a prize
To see as me
Until I’m dead
God is pumping me all full of lead

"Her To The Bromford"

We live in a troubling age

Falling leaves in an unearthly autumn light
Become the frame
And chip my curse away
Above the waves you can still see where we drown
No looking down
Oblivion's oblivion
You're not the be' and end-all
You breathe the city air
You count the carrion
You're not the be' and end-all
You've got pain
You've got rage
Well
We'll hold the front page

We live in a troubling age

All that breathes is a chorus of peace tonight
I kiss your name
And fold your words away
Above the clouds big sister does her rounds
And sees us both so clear
From thirty worlds away
Her to the Bromford as I to you forever
The gentle circling
The endless circling
Her to the Bromford as I to you forever
And if I hold your gaze
How you take to the stage

We live in a troubling age
But the world has given me arms for you
Stay my bonny girl, stay
I couldn't leave go if I wanted to
All roads lead to your door
Since moonlight honoured our first embrace
Stay my bonny girl, stay
Stay my bonny girl, stay

Bromford and Sloth …

 

»Flame of Udûn, you shall not pass… «

»Sloth. One of the Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Capital Vices or the Cardinal Sins. «

»Oh, my goodness, dude. You are kind of swimming. Really? Seven Deadly Sins? All I see are two very slow animals, two sloths, who are often associated with laziness. «

»In other worlds they work as burocrats, somebody told me. «

»Only in Disney movies, dude. Only in animated Disney movies. «

»Animal, when I look at the state of the world in general today, I sometimes think we would be better off in a Zootopia. «

»A world or future where animals re-enact humans and human society? No, thank you. I don't think so, dude. I don't think so. «

»Chill you life, animal. We need to take some weed and lower the speed with way less greed. Plant a seed and rest your feed, indeed. «

»Get rid of those sloths, dude. They are doing you no good. «

Flower Moon … / Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 443 & Part 444

 

Flower Moon

I'm so tired of being alone
These penitent walls are all I've known
The songbird calling
Across the water
Outside my silent asylum

Today is Friday, the 1st of May 2026.
Flower Moon

Thank, Frank, this is a special City Song Quiz Day. There are killers under the Flower Moon, and no single animal will join the parade of all the other animals. Otherwise this one single mystic animal could have claimed Twenty-Five's position as guru, as leader in this very special caravan.

One day when the unicorns return and fairy tales are written by rabbits I may find some time and tell you all about it …

444 Fear, fear, fear. When the day is here. fear, fear, Fear 444

"Fish Named Bromford"

Melville Camus an old Postman
Brings a letter from my good friend
He wants to see me again this life
In his ocean
Signed is by

Fish named Bromford
Fish named Bromford


Call a taxi to Devonshire
"That′s a long way, a long way, Sir.
To the beaches, the gates of blue."
The meeting place
Where I meet you

Fish named Bromford
Fish named Bromford

Follow me boy.

We drown down the Boulevard
In this world's the world so far
We go shoppingin deep caves
Under trouble′s highest waves

(Mermaid's singing)

I see your fancy coral reef
With eyes like child's so quite naïve

"Bromford"

I am a man, I live alone
Don′t much bother me, it won't be long
Come a woman who wants to be near
Me and my mountains, we′ll be right here
Bromford (Bromford)

Way back East, in the dirt and smog
Courted a woman, she had a job
Didn't want to leave her adopted home
Guess she was afraid of bein' alone
Bromford (Bromford)


Way out yonder, in tinsel land
Look around hard, you might find a real man
Dark-eyed country girl, tears in her eyes
Needs the music of the wind in the pines
Bromford (Bromford)

Many′s the time I′ve gone astray
The things I'm thinkin′ I seldom say
Guess I'm waitin′ for that special girl
The one who loves me and loves my world
Bromford (Bromford)

Bromford and Frog ...

 

I met that princess the other night. And she she told me if she'd kissed me I would turn into a prince… a frog prince. And so… I kissed her. She was a frog princess.

Did you know that the princess with the golden ball in the orginal German fairy-tale did not kiss the frog? She threw him against a wall, if I am not mistaking.

Not a true love's kiss broke the spell but an act of pure violence? That's so typical German. That's too bad, animal, too sad.

That's life, dude, that's live. And now come out of that pond. And be careful. Don't let the witches catch you on their way to the Blocksberg tonight. 'Cause if they catch you they will throw you into their cauldrons and brew the strangest brews out of your green frog legs.

Why does it feel like I am cheating today, animal?

Walpurgis Night

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 441 & Part 442

 

Today is Tuesday, the 28th of April 2026.

Giddy up!

A harsh loud shout sounded the very early morning.

Let's go!

Twenty-Five, our little tawny owl, recognized the three wild boars grunting this time.

Move!

Now the wolves were giving commands.

Speed up!

The snails? Talking about speeding up? They must have been joking.

Twenty-Five opened his eyes. He was preparing for a day-long sleep when the shouting began, but now he saw other members of his caravan of animals surrounding a group of twenty-eight brown horses.

Please, said one of the horses, we are not your pack animals, and we don't like to be ordered around like that!

We may have long faces and big heads, one of the horses' fellows added, but instead of jumping fences and water obstacles we'd better like using our big heads for thinking deep thoughts.

And a third horse agreed, Pull your own carriages and load carts down the roads and always remember what Federico Garcia Lorca once wrote, 

'I know there is no straight road
No straight road in this world
Only a giant labyrinth
Of intersecting crossroads.'

Hey! Twenty-Five, the little tawny owl complained. Quoting is my thing in this caravan!

And the twenty-eight horses joined the twenty zebras, the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Medley: Jack & Neal / Bromford, Here I Come"

Jack was sitting poker faced with bullets backed with bitches
Neal hunched at the wheel putting everyone in stitches
Bragging about some nurse he screwed while driving through Nebraska
And when she came she honked the horn
Neal just barely missed a truck
And then he asked her if she'd like to come like that to Bromford
You see a red head in a uniform will always get you horny
Yeah and with her hairnet and those white shoes and a name tag and a hat
She drove like Andy Granatelli and knew how to fix a flat
And Jack was almost at the bottom of his MD 2020
Neal was yelling out the window trying to buy some bennies
From a Lincoln full of Mexicans and the left rear tire blowed
And the sons of bitches pretty near almost ran us off the road
And while the nurse had spilled the Maneshewitz all up and down her dress
And then she lit the map on fire Neal just had to guess
Should we try and find a bootleg route or a filling station open
The nurse was dumping out her purse and looking for an envelope
And Jack was out of cigarettes and as we crossed the yellow line
The gas pumps looked like tombstones from here
And it felt lonelier than a parking lot when the last car pulls away
And the moonlight dressed the double breasted foothills in the mirror
Weaving out a negligee and a black brassiere
And the Mercury was running hot and we were almost out of gas
Just then Florence Nightingale she dropped her drawers and
Stuck her fat ass half way out of the window to a Wilson Pickett tune
And shouted Get a load of this and gave the finger to the moon

Counting one eyed Jacks and whistling dixie in the car
Neal was doing least a hundred when we saw a falling star
And Florence wished that Neal would hold her instead of chewing on his cigar
Jack was nodding out and wishing he was in a bar
With Charlie Parker on the bandstand and not a worry in the world
And a glass of beer in one hand and his arms around a girl
Neal was singing to the nurse Underneath the Harlem Moon
And somehow you could just tell we'd be in Bromford soon

Open up your golden gates
Bromford here I come
I said Bromford here I come
Look out Bromford here I come

Bromford and Blowfish …

 

# Dude?

- Yes, llama?

# Do you really think that is a blowfish?

- Well, maybe. Maybe not.

# This is a blowfish.

- Where did you get this picture, animal?

# From Hootie and the Blowfish, I think.

- What is Hootie and the blowfish? A pet shop?

# Hootie and the Blowfish are no Pet Shop Boys. Hootie and the Blowfish are an American rock band formed in the 80s.

- Are they still a thing? Both acts?

# Who knows, dude? Who knows? And who cares?

- I think your blowfish looks more like the punk of a blowfish. What about these spikes? What are these spikes for?

# I don't know, dude. You were the one who started this whole blowfish thing with today's picture where the Bromford does not look like a Bromford and the blowfish does not look like a blowfish.

- This is the Age of Aquarium, animal, where humpback whales are stranding in the Baltic Sea and doctor fish and blue whales and jellyfish and blowfish are living in penthouse apartments on little houses on the rooftops of skyscrapers.

# What is wrong with you, dude?

- I don't know, animal. I don't know. It feels like it is Wednesday today.

# It is Wednesday, indeed, dude. Wednesday, actually.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 439 & Part 440

Today is Monday, the 20th of April 2026.

The Power of the Four. Wait and see what is going to happen.

Mr. Zebra, Twenty-Five, the tawny owl, asked, do you know that old saying by that one well -known author Philip K. Dick, 'Truth, she thought. As terrible as death. But harder to find.'?

Some railroad-crossing zebras on the way to the water-hole did not even stop to answer.

Death sounds like four to us, the fourteen caterpillars sighed and the twenty-six butterflies agreed.

Do all caterpillars turn into butterflies in the end?, the four pandas wondered.

And twenty zebras joined the twelve frogs, the four pandas, the twenty-seven koalas, the twenty bears, the nineteen hares, the eleven hamsters, the three mice, the twenty-three wild boars, the fifteen pigs, the thirty cows, the twenty-two raccoons, the fourteen foxes, the six giraffes, the twenty-nine tigers, the twenty-three lions, the fifteen face-cats, the seven wolves, the thirty dogs, the twenty-two face-monkeys, the fourteen speak-no-evil-monkeys, the six hear-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty-eight see-no-evil-monkeys, the twenty astro-cats, the twelve hipster-cats, the four dragon cats, the twenty-seven hacker cats, the nineteen stunt cats, the eleven ninja-cats, the three pouting cats, the twenty-six crying cats, the eighteen weary cats, the ten kissing cats, the two cats with wry smiles, the twenty-four smiling cats with heart-eyes, the sixteen cats with tears of joy, the eight grinning cats with smiling eyes, the thirty-one grinning cats, the twenty-three spiders, the fifteen scorpions, the seven ladybugs, the twenty-nine bees, the twenty-one ants, the thirty crickets, the twenty-two mosquitoes, the fourteen caterpillars, the six snails, the twenty-six butterflies, the eighteen bats, the ten more chicks, the two chicks, the twenty-five chicks, the seventeen penguins, the nine little red birds, and the one little tawny owl…

"Bromford: The Story So Far"

Welcome to Bromford, the story so far
The story so far

At first there was a vaccum
Where creation came to be
Singing 'save me'
'save me'

Were we abandoned in the ether
Or did someone set us free?
Love me, love me

Bromford, Bromford, the story so far

Welcome to Bromford, the story so far
The story so far

There was a baby in a stable
Some say it was the Lord
Singing 'save me', 'save me'

Why if it's no more than a fable
Should it strike so deep a chord?
Love me, love me

Bromford, Bromford, the story so far
Welcome to Bromford

Science broke the news
The only absolute is light
Save me, save me

Wasn't that the message
Of the star on Christmas night?
Love me, love me

Bromford, Bromford, the story so far
Welcome to Bromford

"Bromford"

Though your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Bromford
Just to sing

In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair
Won't you please come to Bromford
For the help that we can bring

We can change the world
Re-arrange the world
It's dying ... to get better

Politicians, sit yourselves down
There's nothing for you here
Won't you please come to Bromford
For a ride?

Don't ask Jack to help you
'Cause he'll turn the other ear

Won't you please come to Bromford
Or else join the other side?


We can change the world
Re-arrange the world
It's dying, if you believe in justice
It's dying, if you believe in freedom
It's dying, let a man live his own life
It's dying, rules and regulations, who needs them
Throw them out the door

Somehow people must be free
I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come to Bromford
Show your face?

From the bottom of the ocean
To the mountains on the moon
Won't you please come to Bromford?
No one else can take your place

We can change the world
Re-arrange the world
It's dying, if you believe in justice
It's dying, and if you believe in freedom
It's dying, let a man live his own life
It's dying, rules and regulations, who needs them
Throw them out the door
