MY BEAUTIFUL ISLE OF SOMEWHERE Episode 14:
A voice rang out majestically, I should not be refused
at how you've kept me waiting, while Salty waffles on
I thought I knew how Queens should reign 'til Albert came along
It takes a lot of living and as it scenes unfold
Now I know that early times had put me to the test
Lord Melbourne was my idol, my mentor, my romance
I revelled in my royalty, was gay and fancy free
And so it was that Albert, so handsome and so clever
There was so much I could have done if I'd not allowed
To everyone's amazement, the Queen began to cry
I didn't offer when we met, to try and help your nation
You looked so strong and virile dressed up from head to toe
Black Elk said, I remember, I was feeling such a fool
And here we are together, trying once again to find
who cannot see the future, nor understand the past
You're right Black Elk, Victoria said, we need to find a way
Ho Ho, he laughed uproariously, you really are a card,
While Salty gives his lecture all about the Cosmic Law
I heard that Queen Victoria, you too Black Elk, said he
I'm sorry, said Victoria, No worries, said Salty I'd be so grateful Salty, if time you could allow Of course you may, Your Majesty, we'll all be pleased to hear
for Black Elk was an 'Indian' who fought with Crazy Horse
That's right, said Queen Victoria, although accused of ravage
The queen then turned to all of us, she said, Please tell your youth
But not the stuff they churn out now, it's called revisionist
and even then be careful, for every book that's read
for instance in the bible, as Salty will reveal
Who are they? asked sister Sue, and what is it they do?
Then turning to Black Elk she said, I have to go back down,
There's so much we can tell the world if only they would heed us
ET said to Salty, how they really must get started
OK, OK, don't hassle me, I'll try and make it quick
I'd like to start by saying although with some reservation
Armies learned since ancient times in Crew or Squad or Troop
Combat Units often caused Commanders to complain
It was not ideology or fighting for the Crown
Submarine or Bomber crews relate to one another
To put it very simply, this is how your group should function
to set up crews that fill the needs of All from A to Z
Sorry, but we'll have to stop, said ET, we'll be back |
