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

"Bromford"

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
Well, I thought that this was half a love

Whoo
When I'm falling to the right


"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 bridgΠ΅ for those left behind
Will I freezΠ΅ 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
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done
Day is done

Bromford and Dolphin ...

 

- Another inhabitant for our
 Aquarium in the sky.

# MUTANTS!

- They are dolphins, animal.

# With too many fins and snouts
 and teeth and again with too many
 eyes on one side of their heads.
 MUTANTS!


- DOLPHINS!

# MUTANTS!

- DOLPHINS!

# MUTANTS!

- DOLPHINS!

# MUTANTS!

- STOP SHOUTING, LLAMA!

# SAME, SAME, HUMAN DUDE!
 And the strangest mutant in the
 picture is that blue-eyed human-
 look-alike. And it feels like you are
 cheating again, dude.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 447 & Part 448


Today is Thursday, the 14th of May 2026.
Ascension Day

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 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 UdΓ»n, 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

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

Courted a woman, she had a job
Didn't want to leave her adopted home

Dark-eyed country girl, tears in her eyes
Needs the music of the wind in the pines
