Bromford's Arc - Part 7 - 12:05 a.m.

Apartment 20 - Twelfth Floor - right hand side … and we walk all night.

'Tina and Tino Tiger from the twelfth floor. Come on!'

The llama sounds spiteful.

'What has become of Llama and Bromford out on an adventure? It's more like Llama, Bromford and everybody else on something like an adventure.'

'Animal, we don't have time for this', I say.

And way down we go …

"Bromfod Traffic"

Bromfod traffic (state of confusion)
Bromfod traffic (blocking the streets)
Bromfod traffic (going nowhere)
Bromfod traffic (polluting the air)

Drive round Bromfod in a car
Don't really want to go far
So many cars fill the streets
Wonder why we bother at all

Bromfod traffic is a problem
Bromfod traffic too many cars
One way systems look very neat
Coloured signs direct the streets

No one knows the answer
No one seems to care
Take a look at our city
Take the traffic elsewhere

Leave the city free from traffic
Give the place a chance to survive
Dirt and filth cover Bromfod
Give it a chance to breathe again

Bromford's Ark - Part 6 - 12:04 a.m.

Apartment 21 - Thirteenth Floor - left hand side … and we walk all night.

'I am not in the mood, yet', I say. 'I am not in the flow. I do not have this December feeling, yet. And the words won't grow.'

'Do words grow?' Kylie asks.

'Yes, inside one's mind they do grow, I think', I say.

'And what is this with your constant typos in the blockblog-post titles?' the llama asks. 'Everyone is still waiting for the story arc. Is there still one to come?'

'The first to come are Uma and Ulf Urchin here', I say. 'From apartment 21, you know?'

And way down we go …

"Bromford Town"

Bromford town, Bromford town
Everybody's got their heads bowed down
Sun don't shine above the ground
Ain't a-goin' down to Bromford town

He went down to Bromford town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from Bromford town

Bromford town around the bend
Come to the door, he couldn't get in
All because of the color of his skin
What do you think about that, my friend?

Me, my gal, and my gal's son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
Don't even know why we come
We're goin' back where we came from

Bromford town in the afternoon
Everybody's singin' a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon.

Bromford's Arc - Part 5 - 12:03 a.m.

Apartment 22 - Thirteenth Floor - right hand side … and we walk all night.

Kylie is still grumpy.

'My apartment', she growls. 'Xenia Xerus called Fortune Cookie? Pah!'

'I do not believe you, either, Dudeford', the llama says with its pouch. 'Fortune cookies sayings are not written by some kind of cookie grandma. They grow on luminescent bushes in damp underground caves and have to be picked by little-handed orange dwarves when they are ripe.'

'May we beg your pardon?' a choir of two asks. 'We are Valeria and Victor Vulture from apartment 22. Have you seen our gnu?'

And way down we go …

"Blind Man In Bromford"

I saw a blind man in Bromford with a box around his neck
And the music box kept singing on and the song I won't forget

It went boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum

Well 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 walk past the man so fast
The audience kept moving on ignoring the cast
I found 50 of his currency and dropped it in his tin
He said "When your adventure ends your next one will begin"
When this adventure ends your next one will begin

With a boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum

You'll find a blind man in Bromford with a box around his neck
And the music box keeps singing on and the song you won't forget
The song you won't forget

With a boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boom boom
Boomdidi boomdidi boom boom boom boodum boodum boooodum
