Of Theodore Marmaduke, Canto VI

Bromdun, dubiously named      Prince Crown New of naught but Basque Burgs,

Was born chief, with cherub’s imagination     Able to envision all futures.

He, poor, probably as poor     As any pauper in his Princedom

Was caught in Kings’ mischief      Who to make him a Prince o’er Kings

Stole him away from house and home     To be hauled back to his home

By Spirit Engines.     He nare sought the enigmatic

Spooky Family of ghouls and goblin kings      Or the Good shepherd family.

He was harangued and held to Oath        From a Hochadel of the Bourbons

Not to forge in the elements      Of fire, for fear of failure.

Thus, Bromdun held to his oath     To the Bourbon Hochadel

But the Hapsburgs came in colors       Of the Jolly Roger to kill

Bromdun, by making him brute      And to take up the Bright Craft

Of the Fiery art of the Firesmith     To make engines enigmatic and fierce.

 

Bromdun knew not how the knots       Of the fire knells, nor the knowledge

Of how the fire art was forged.       Thus, an Oak towered above, fierce

To forge in the fiery arts.      But when he found the Earth flat

He thought, “This must be a dream!”     Though, this is how the earth was.

For his metallurgy maligned his skill      And forged madness into this manly Marquise.

The marquise who then became a Prince     Most adored by the masses.

The Bourbons brought the Marquise to     Make his most magnificent machines.

The Hapsburgs were fraught with ill ire.     Their iliums were illumined with rage.

For Bromdun was not a prince     But to use his Body, they pried to place

In him Harry Prince of Wales,    Who horrified, Bromdun prayed to Jehovah

To throw this Hapsburg to the winds     And therefore heal Bromdun of his heartache.

 

For Bromdun was purchased and        Spied by Potentate Theodore Marmaduke

To be made into the Brute beacon     Of the big world beneath the earth.

To bring the Baal into the World    From beneath the earth, in the World;

But Bromdun prayed to Jehovah      And Jehovah answered briefly

To bring Him all joy and all measure      Of kindness, and Bromdun would be healed.

Yet, Theodore Marmaduke, with      Madok Himself, he whom Marmaduke served

Sought to bereave Bromdun     Of his belief in God. For what purpose?

Bromdun has yet to find,     Yet fears it is just for fun’s sake.—

To fletch this favorable poem     Which the LORD Jehovah has found Bromdun

To feed himself.      Heal him LORD Jehovah.

For Bromdun sees the fierce      Winds of change are wearing

And sees dark forests fading to desert     The deserts flowering to forests from dearth.

“LORD, I need to eat.     Ease my suffering.”

 

The prince’s engines      Flew into the ebbs of space

To where they brought the boats      Filled with idolatry back

From Mars, and the worlds beneath,    To make the earth barren.

They flew with the sunsails      They fanned the coal of Asheroth to fly

With the earth waning,      Wan was the people when the forests

Burned, when the trees were bare      When the summer fruit did not flit.

It was for the Baal idols      Which sung the songs in their bright

Pitch, to tell the trees each     To wit, the Baals sung on that frequency too.

Thus, the trees began to fall.     The earth’s forests turned to desert.

For scripture sought to send      A beautiful secret truth to us.

That God is God, and we need      Give up the gods in our pockets.
