MY BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF SOMEWHERE

Episode 14: 

A voice rang out majestically, I should not be refused
My name is Queen Victoria
and I am not amused

at how you've kept me waiting, while Salty waffles on
My message is important
conclusions are foregone

I thought I knew how Queens should reign 'til Albert came along
he told me how to live my life
to what I should belong

It takes a lot of living and as it scenes unfold
to find that at the end of it
your life has been controlled

Now I know that early times had put me to the test
preparing me for royal life
and how I'd do my best

Lord Melbourne was my idol, my mentor, my romance
he gave me education,
encouraged song and dance

I revelled in my royalty, was gay and fancy free
but royals took advantage
of my crass credulity

And so it was that Albert, so handsome and so clever
was chosen for my husband
my friendships he would sever.

There was so much I could have done if I'd not allowed
the royals to beguile me,
retract what I'd avowed

To everyone's amazement, the Queen began to cry
Do you remember me Black Elk?
I've always wondered why

I didn't offer when we met, to try and help your nation
we Queens, you know, are so inept
at giving consolation

You looked so strong and virile dressed up from head to toe
performing for palefaces
in Cody's Wild West Show

Black Elk said, I remember, I was feeling such a fool
you said It would not happen
in a country that you rule

And here we are together, trying once again to find
a way to help our brothers
and our sisters who are blind

who cannot see the future, nor understand the past
and haven't any concept
of the only things that last.

You're right Black Elk, Victoria said, we need to find a way
if it's not entertaining
they'll POQ today

Ho Ho, he laughed uproariously, you really are a card,
we could think up some poems
pretend that I'm a bard

While Salty gives his lecture all about the Cosmic Law
we could tell jokes to make them laugh
his talk can be a bore

I heard that Queen Victoria, you too Black Elk, said he
I'm glad that you're amused at last
I've waited patiently

I'm sorry, said Victoria, No worries, said Salty
I don't mind you joking
as I talk about the ME

I'd be so grateful Salty, if time you could allow
for Black Elk to speak with me
He nodded with a bow.

Of course you may, Your Majesty, we'll all be pleased to hear
just how it is you know Black Elk
it certainly seems queer

for Black Elk was an 'Indian' who fought with Crazy Horse
at Little Bighorn River
a massacre of course!

That's right, said Queen Victoria, although accused of ravage
the 'Indian' was upright
while the 'white man' was the savage

The queen then turned to all of us, she said, Please tell your youth
to read up on their history
for there they'll find the truth

But not the stuff they churn out now, it's called revisionist
you have to go to OP shops for
old books crossed off their list

and even then be careful, for every book that's read
you need to read between the lines
or you could be misled

for instance in the bible, as Salty will reveal
there's much that's been invented
and more that they conceal

Who are they? asked sister Sue, and what is it they do?
The Fives of course, Victoria said,
they're making fools of you

Then turning to Black Elk she said, I have to go back down,
perhaps we'll get together
in another place or town?

There's so much we can tell the world if only they would heed us
by listening to their inner self
to victory they'll lead us.

ET said to Salty, how they really must get started
they're honking at The Gate dear boy,
some souls have now departed.

OK, OK, don't hassle me, I'll try and make it quick
Now Gertie, Lou and Sister Sue
and Harry, Tom and Dick

I'd like to start by saying although with some reservation
That Cosmic Law is based upon
a tactical formation

Armies learned since ancient times in Crew or Squad or Troop
that soldiers would feel more secure
protected by their Group

Combat Units often caused Commanders to complain
'These soldiers think they run the show,
they're difficult to train'

It was not ideology or fighting for the Crown
it was personal commitment,
'I can't let my mates down'

Submarine or Bomber crews relate to one another
executing missions
as comrade and as brother

To put it very simply, this is how your group should function
in civvy life as well as war
we must have no compunction

to set up crews that fill the needs of All from A to Z
yet do it so that none shall feel
the sting of charity

Sorry, but we'll have to stop, said ET, we'll be back
with Thomas Paine, Mahatma
and the rest of our Mousepack
