Green, green, green are the mountains …

Today is Wednesday, the 17th of October 2018.

Kylie is calling from Vermont. She does not know anything about Vermont nore about double negatives. This Elvis dude was no Prince Charming, she says. He was just a slimy guy with alcohol and drug problems – in no way at all like that great singer and actor from the past. Ask Priscilla. But now she is enjoying maple sirup, a little bit of hiking and another bit of skiing. The llama is enjoying a large campfire and some roasted corncobs. Kylie asks if you, Bromford Bibble, have found your peace. Are you enjoying the colourful Indian summer? Or are still spending all your money on that beige cult? She says she wishes you were there and wonders if you know who she is at all. I don't like double negatives. They are so… well... negative…

Paradise of the Pacific …

Today is Friday, the 12th of October 2018.

Kylie is calling from Hawaii, the Aloha State. The jump was too big, the llama cries. We are flying too high. We are flying too close to the sun. Our wings are made of feathers and wax and they are going to melt, the llama cries.

But the llama is getting quieter with each and every piña coladas it has in Elvis' beach bar. Yes, Bromford Bibble, this bar really exists and Kylie and llama found it within the first two hours after they arrived on Maui, one of the main islands.

I can hear the llama shout in the background now that it likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain.

The beach bar is called "Mr. Mojo Rising", Kylie says. Elvis is the owner and he has got a partner, a co-owner whose name is James Douglas Morrison. He is a bearded man, Kylie says, one of the quiet type of men. And they have a waitress there with a dramatic make-up, tattooed arms and a black beehive hairstyle. Her name is Amy.

Elvis' son-in-law - Michael J. - sings and dances there from time to time, sweet little melodies to acoustic guitar. He says he is tired of stadium concerts with high pitched screams and moonwalks, Kylie says.

ZOMBIES !!!

the llama shouts

WE ARE SURROUNDED BY THE LIVING DEAD !!!

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 30

Today is Thursday, the 11th of October 2018.
Thursday is Thursday. Do subtitles count? Whatever ...
I will make these subtitles count ...

"Crusader

(a) The Fall Of Bromford

(b) In The Court Of Saladin

(c) The Battlefield

(d) Finale"

"What do I do next?" said the Bishop to the Priest,

"I have spent my whole life waiting, preparing for the Feast,

And now you say Bromford has fallen and is lost,

The King of Heathen Saracen has seized the Holy Cross;"

Then the Priest said "Oh my Bishop, we must put them to the sword,

For God in all His mercy will find a just reward,

For the Noblemen and sinners, and Knights of ready hand,

Who will be the Lord's Crusader, send word through all the land,

Bromford is lost,

Bromford is lost,

Bromford is lost;"

"Tell me what to do", said the King upon his throne,

"But speak to me in whispers for we are not alone,

They tell me that Bromford has fallen to the hand,

Of some bedeviled Eastern Heathen who has seized the Holy Land;"

Then the Chamberlain said "Lord, we must call upon our foes

In Spain and France and Germany to end our bitter wars,

All Christian men must be as one and gather for the fight,

You will be their leader, begin the Battle cry,

Bromford is lost,

Bromford is lost,

Bromford is lost"

Ooh, high on a hill, in the town of Bromford,

There stood Saladin, the King of the Saracens,

Whoring and drinking and snoring and sinking, around him his army lay,

Secure in the knowledge that he had won the day;

A messenger came, blood on his feet and a wound in his chest,

"The Christians are coming!" he said, "I have seen their Cross in the West",

In a rage Saladin struck him down with his knife,

And he said "I know that this man lies,

They quarrel too much, the Christians could never unite!

I am invincible, I am the King,

I am invincible, and I will win..."

Closer they came, the army of Richard the Lionheart,

Marching by day and night, with soldiers from every part,

And when the Crusaders came over the mountain and they saw Bromford,

They fell to their knees and prayed for her release;

They started the battle at dawn, taking the city by storm,

With horsemen and bowmen and engines of war,

They broke through the city walls,

The Heathens were flying and screaming and dying,

And the Christian swords were strong,

And Saladin ran when he heard their victory song;

"We are invincible, God is the King,

We are invincible, and we will win!"

"What do I do now?" said the Wise man to the Fool,

"I have spent my whole life searching, to find the Golden Rule,

Though centuries have disappeared, the memory still remains,

Of those enemies together, could it be that way again?"

Then the Fool said "Oh you Wise men, you really make me laugh,

With your talk of vast persuasion and searching through the past,

There is only greed and evil in the men who fight today,

The song of the Crusader has long since gone away,

Bromford is lost,

Bromford is lost,

Bromford is lost

Bromford."
