if the king is healthy and happy,
the kingdom is filled with joy,
the robbers reform or wither,
their agents they cannot deploy.
we build our own world

seven rounds are wonderful,
seventeen even more.
seven crac[K] the window.
seventeen open the door.
now go through

Tom Brown pulled out the paper.
closed his typewriter,
leaned back stool-wise.
and softly chanted HK/HR on his 'monkey mala' [18-beads].
His eyes were half closed and there was a grin from [h]ear to [h]ear.

his black african slaves were setting up camp,
grimacing at white women,
and chanting, "me ooooh! canau! [me ooooh! canau!]" like they had seen on the YouTube yesterday.

yes, it is 1897, africa, west nigeria and this is the famous Banana-rama expedition gone in search of Lord Chandra Dawson who was lost one year previously.

[NOTICE - Three Possible Cause for Victory]

. . .

YESTERDAY, while marching, they had encountered the evil Fu Tan Chu who was laughing and theatening white women with his whip.

in revenge the white-women had hurled him down into the river GoBo,

where he was set-upon by half a dozen hungry croc o'dyles, who ripped him into pieces and ate him without chewing thoroughly nor brushing afterwards, and were observed in this broiling turmoil of blood and fat by the ladys who had then raised the backs of their delicate hands to their soft ruby lips and said, 'oh, my goodness'!

TB at the head of his column of 27 four-hundred pound, 7-foot tall, black Nubian porters, and 13-evil Dutch ivory poachers, just swung his typwriter case back onto his shoulder and commented, 'Evil is always punished' and moved on.

The white-women again chanted, "Ahhh!" and also moved on.

Lord Chandra had been son of the First Sky Lord of the British Empire, an unqeuncheable reformer in the dungeons of the Dragon Gorge Correctional House for Felons of Capital Crimes, and had set off into an uncharted part of Africa looking for the kidnapped daughter of Lord John Och, First Earl of Myteal La.
