Chapter One and Two (please excuse the duplication - first words here and last words there :))

Chapter Three

For three weeks they partied in the backyard, with several barrels of beer that were extremely heavy to carry, so they emptied them bottoms up! Everyone was getting just a bit over the top, but that's fine and dandy with them, no doubt because they expect to get to the pub later for afters with friends. You know, like the jolly man from the valley of the lost sheep in the middle of the dense rain forest full of cannibals... all smoking cannabis in their peacepipe.
Meanwhile, just then, the beer came to the table... to be drunk by the merry men of the Ancient Order of the Seti Knights of Big Green Blobs. That covered the basis of truth... which leaked out, causing a world-wide panic that spread like molasses.
So goes jam - both very sticky problems to sort out.
Once they spread... disease ran out... pestilence all around... contained in sites from before history was ever chronicled - as heroic stories told around campfires, accompanied by songs about great voyages to the lands where the wild nomadic herds of wandering metropolitan urbanites congregated under the old oak tree. Yellow ribbon around, and around again, helta skelta fashion, worn by pink, blue and green - the true tricolor flag of the 7th republic of Korea. With warriors decked out in shiny and sparkly nicely decorated bunkers hidden in the depths of her corset, a happy place, came the prince, on his white stallion - bearing gifts which all that viewed.
For the chosen were most amused. But corsets don't let you breathe until gift-bearing-princes vacate in space, no. They're best suited for people with certain attributes of an inquisitive nature, that think about what might be if only things could go away. Unlike the shack that stands erect next to the statue of the Big Empty Barrel, which has become overflowing with great, great tasting frothy ale: imported from Louisville Kentucky USA; and smoother than riding on a motorcycle (but with a space helmet on); while merrily singing "Incey wincey spider" around the campfire.
Catching the attention of little 'Hummelelfe', The famous Woodstar knock on wood Elf of the big oak tree which was climbed in the night they drove old Dixie down in the winter over the game of thrones - which fell apart anyway - she said,
“Please don't go and think badly about those little monkeys here, there and everywhere...” She listened to the sounds of far rattling trains that tooted their horns as they worked on the way to the depot where all the syrupy pancakes were splattered across the ceiling, as they leapt from the precarious precipice of pictures that vanished into the depths of the great chasm behind the huge empty barrel - which needed filling again, with great piles of delicious ripe fruit which were picked by: people in fields; crows with wigs that look like aliens with claws, dangerous and unpredictable, that give off electrical signals from strangely shaped potatoes with many eyes that peered suspiciously at anything that had blond hair, and blue eyes, carrying a briefcase that hid something below the deck in plain site...
"...they're just crinkles in the fabric of time space..."
They found the black hole that swallowed up most of the matter that didn't matter, but left the stairs (that shone like peppermint dew) on the end of the big cigar held by Most Interesting Man. In the shadows of the Oak tree with yellow leaves all around, like a blanket covering the ground beneath the feet of the snarling little alien from the seventh planet in the constellation that looks like the face of the Joker smiling without his teeth, this was alarming!
As the bells began to toll... the screams that were coming from the depths of the deep blue pineapple with wings that was flying lopsidedly towards an encounter with the civilization of the Great Blade... whose spaceships resemble barrels broken in half which constantly required refilling with rare tasty ales that curled the toes and brain cells of the purple people eater who came to Earth looking to feast on those yummy wagon wheels with kitties chasing them (together with dogs and black bunnies, in white hats of the magician Wiffardigaaan)... went silent... and jumped away.

To view scene from a different perspective...

From the chorus of cats meowing for some who listen intently, without being interrupted, to the King's Cross Station for all time announcement by the lovely voice of Information Kiosk Vera, r e c i t i n g the lost words in time for the 10:45 heading North to Alaska (where the salmon is good, and the beer from the barrel looked like golden with smooooooooooth head)...
...just in time for the flying of Monty Python and his crooked back... in England, a swabbie sang off key for many large lumberjacks; sawed heads off the barbie dolls made of wood... just like trees growing in Brooklyn! But...

Flags go white over the bridge of troubled waters...


Chapter Four

Where minds go, to soak up those written words inscribed on diamonds forever, in time whose mists are impenetrable as a swarm of bees protecting their honey... far away in a different end of galaxy (far far away) layer the matter over the top of the mountain...
That... lays beyond the rainbow bridge... Where all the leprechauns go... to greener the field of four leaf clovers that show where, the luck of the Irish; off in smoke; on the water; floating past a parade of flowers in boxes... they are Knights in White Satin which soiled thru silk. Spinning a great yarn...
(yarn) (for us) (on a loom!)

To fabricate fabric, lace and such, for the fair maiden voyage now of the mighty ducks in water that is deeper Interstellar in space...
But is it...? Into the night of white satin, with Moody Blue and Deep Purple, and strange kind of Hotel California... where eagles dare in marmalade skies (good orange color)... displayed in the fancy stereoptican lens that could see in many dimensions except one... that went into night owl mode... we, to be true to ourselves, must find the big green button that activates the white rabbit of the big hat and little wand.
The wizard said: push the button just in time before the genie (back in the bottle) pops out again...
And then the monster is out!
Everyone is afraid about the old methods it used
(especially one which this game uses to define the Heroes we have, marching with silkworms... and drums beating on golden paths... and yellow storms sky...) Sometimes, sense, a sixth sense, makes no sense... but stranger things have happened in the land of Wizard of Oz.
"Follow the path! The yellow brick road you know has no turnings... just straight ahead sadly, towards oblivion..."
But look carefully as you walk... there's a gap too large to Fit into Freezer... so need to follow the aliens instructions...
...about the close encounters...
...of the third kind.

Meanwhile, back home in a quiet alley, Godot awaits the return of Mork from Ork - who drinks with his buddy Zorg from the planet K-PAX - where Prot the Empty Barrel had enough courage in him to demand a own will. However, he was confused about the meaning of human feelings.
He then proceeded to offer his shelter to the small black bunny, who was shivering while waiting for the wizard to conjure up something in the mug which needed refilling STAT (he says).
Doctor walks in, stinking of gin after a night of serious drinking at the intergalactic gateway to the other universe (where the doctor went thru door of blue box).
"Aquaman steals day... but what happens? She walks alone through the night! Donkeys can fly, so can pigs, so we heard... but cows flying over the moooooooooooooon was too much... But I saw something I couldn't deny, so I emptied the barrel for more stuff, like a tasty buttery snack ala popcorn from the zero calorie forum in an alternate universe, where pigs really do fly..."
"Anything's possible there, except one thing... Fringe went missing in an explosion. Universe said so."
"But how can pig's fly now?"
"It is magic of the Universe... of the imagination... as we experience the special force on a journey of the earth feeling the pressure at the core. But more questions.... However one question will remain unanswered. Does Godot exist? will Godot arrive?"
... are two questions that caused panic.
"Impossible to answer!"
"Couldn't be answered," the third said.
"Oooooops that was a slippery slope! Be cautious friend of bumps in the long road less travelled by E.T and friends... And others too, who climb the mountain to meet the big green anachronistic people in juxtaposition with the purple rain all over the raspberry beret worn by the scarecrow..."

But birds kept picking away in the field of dreams where baseball players came looking for giants.
One fought Samson, whose girlfriend, Delilah was a dangerous hair cutting lady creating panic among all other Christians. So how can the Bible be right about the massacres that took place in spooky and ghastly circumstances, where funny things could also happen when one is doing something that they should not do, while standing in swamp muck that drain's one's strength like hot energy and spirit?
Looking up, one sees a bright glow in the purple western sky and wonders what may lie beyond that glow. Once upon a time (lol) :) in a far away galaxy, lightyears from home, a little star glowed brighter than most, probably a pulsar Universe far away.
"Astronomy is wisdom" the stars say to the unconscious - who doesn't, can't hear anything, but can taste the sweet taste of pineapple upsidedown and inside out cake.
This seemed to be a treat for everyone!
Unfortunately, being allergic to sweet cakes, ET wanted something a little stronger to wipe out the whole universe, a strange thought.
On the verge of his mind, the King writes scary scenarios that devastate the last ship to cross the road and survive, unlike the chicken, who fouled out in the last round with Tyson - versus the jolly green giant who drank all the ale in the barrel.
Time for a power nap now.

Meanwhile, over at Nip Tuck Can, elated to announce the start of football season on a planet far far away, so, closer yet, we can see the blue light (shimmering like a beacon for fans of blue light) emitting from an iridescent diode of luminous energy that Luminus provides for :)) But the power of fossil fuels isn't enough for E.T's ship, so he phoned home.
However, no answer.
"No reply, ever." The man said.
Well... the operator... lost in space still dialling the Midway Station (where nobody ever answered because they misdialled) one more try was attempted before a good nap was just needed to recharge the Flux Capacitor and clean the windscreen, before heading back to the vacuum of space where breathing is hard.

No wind in your sails to propel the ship across the huge, vast cup of tea, hotter than a vat of molten metal yet lighter than a Cadbury's flake, a Canterbury tale... an Aesop's fable... or a quark filled with charm casting a spell on incognizent beings before they woke. As the silence descended over the minor key's shadow, into the Musseeum of shiny glass and glittery gold, like Saint Petersburg festooned - ornate in the sun on an island under the palmtree of golden coconuts in beautiful Arizona, Red Rock Rises to the heavens in a glorious moment, by amazing pyrotechnic displays of military hardware in honour of nobody in particular.
But... just then, a miracle happened and from behind the black curtain a wizard appeared holding a magic wand to evaporate the water from the sodden boots which is magical!
"Disneyland we go! with Mary Poppins' chimney sweeps! Go disappearing down the Rabbit Hole! The fast way... with no escape from death lurking beneath the staircase... of which the last step had post to thread that wrapped itself round a pole!"
The pole then started spinning around to gain enough manpower for all to build Hadrian's gigantic, super dooper wall with enough power points to provide electricity for The Whole World, which will eventually mean the beginning of the end for all who stay in static channels on the roof.
