Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 437 & Part 438

 
Today is Sunday, the 12th of April 2026.

The tawny owl asked twelve frogs that were crossing the street, Do you know the old Zen proverb, 'The frog in the pond knows little of the great ocean'?

The frogs croaked, We know it but it is not true. We know of the ponds and the rivers and the oceans and the rain and the clouds. And we know of the universal connection.

Is it the water? the koalas asked bored and yawned.

Immortality exists only in water, the frogs answered.

And Twenty-Five, our tawny owl, began to wonder when he would not be the wised owl in the crowd any longer.
 
Ribbit!

Meanwhile the twelve frogs joined 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…

Going To Bromford (My Carnival)

Well, I'm going to Bromford
Gonna see the Mardi Gras
Yes, I'm going to Bromford
Gonna see the Mardi Gras
When I get there
All the girls gonna know who they are

When I get to Bromford
Gonna do my thing
Yes, I get to Bromford
Gonna do my thing
Cause when I get there
I'm gonna see the Zulu king
(Woo!)

Well, I'm going to Bromford
Gonna see the Mardi Gras
Yes, I'm going to Bromford
Gonna see the Mardi Gras
When all the girls get there
They gonna know who they are




"I Can't See Bromford"

From here, no lines are drawn
From here, no lands are owned
13,000 and holding
Swallowed in the purring of her engines
Tracking the beacon here
"Is there a signal there
On the other side?
On the other side?
What do you mean 'side of what things'?"


And you said
And you did
And you said
You would find me here
And you said
You would find me even in death
And you said
And you said
You'd find me


But I can't see Bromford
As I'm circling down
Through white cloud
Falling out and
I know his lips are warm
But I can't seem to find
My way out, my way out
I can't see Bromford
As I'm circling down
Through white cloud
Falling out and
I know his lips are warm
But I can't seem to find
My way out, my way out
Of this hunting ground

From here
Crystal meth in metres of millions
In the end all we have, soul blueprint
And did we get lost in it?
Do we conduct a search for this?
"From the other side
From the other side
What do they mean 'side of what things'?"


And you said
And you did
And you said
You would find me here
And you said
You would find me even in death
And you said
And you said
You'd find me


But I can't see Bromford
As I'm circling down
Through white cloud
Falling out and
I know his lips are warm
But I can't seem to find
My way out, my way out
I can't see Bromford
As I'm circling down
Through white cloud
Falling out and
I know your lips are warm
But I can't seem to find
My way out, my way out
Of your hunting ground


You again
It's you again
I can't see, I can't see Bromford
I can't see, I can't see Bromford
From the other side
I hum from the other side
