Act III, scene ii: The Funeral Speeches
~~
Narrarator:
Far far away in a land filled with gods
There once was a city called Romenopoliswod
It's full name was Romenopoliswod-gilligergallingerpilligerporter
But they called it Rome just to make the name shorter
And in this city with the fluberguligus name
There once was a man putting the Senate to shame
His name was Jilloodul Caesaro Caezim
His plans ended up getting a Hoosle stuck in him
Suppose, just suppose, my fantabulous friends
What poor Jilloodul might have done in the end
If Brutillibum Bixles and his cohorts a-scheming
Wouldn't have plotting his death so unseeming
~~
Citizen 1:
And so Bruttilibum jumps on the stage
To tell us the cause of the conspirator's rage!
~~
BB:
People of Romenopoliswod
Gilligergallingerpilligerporter
I know you've all come to hear of my side
And to tell you the grungly way that Jilloodul Caezim died
Well, I know that amongst you, there's talking of lies
But I'm saying I loved him as much as the next guy
And if there's any Bob Dick or Harry to doubt me
Or George, or a Harold, or a Jimmy Jo Sally
Then up here let's boot 'em to speak of the ills that they've carried
'Cuz I loved Rome more than a plate full of Bungledung Berries
~~
Citizen 2:
Bungledung Berries; a rare delicacy, those
Whoever likes 'em can't be as bad as I first supposed
~~
BB:
And leaving Jilloodul Caezim in charge of your life
Why, that's ever so muchly a path filled with strife
For wouldn't you rather have the Senate keep pace
Than be in poor Jilloodul Caezim's place?
'Cuz it's so muchly worse having a dictator around
When you could have fellows like Cassius McBrown
Though he was a frood of a guy, that old Jilloodul Caezim
He wanted too much; aren't you glad it was him?
Jilloodul and me were the best bestest of buddies
But for Rome I got his best robes all torn and bloody!
~~
Citizen 3:
Three Billibong Whoopers for Brutillibum Bixles!
~~
Citizen 4: For us in his best friend a Hoosle he did stickle!
~~
BB:
Gee golly ginkers, the time goes by faster
Than a Three-Tailed Shlippledonk near an explosive disaster
Well, I leave you all be; you've all been just peachy
And now to let twee Tony come and read his little speechy
~~
Tony:
People, listen up with your Boomingbangers, your Mega Hornhollers
Let me see your Ampliphonic Earzoomers with their oddly-shaped collars
I've come here on this hollering blue blubbered day
To tell you fine folk what I have to say
For that great high and mighty man, Brutillibum Bixles
Caezim's heart with a Hoosle he most justly did tickle
But listen!
Through your Bagbopper Lobestoppers, hear my cry
Don't forget the reason that Caezim died
Was because that great Bixles, that frood of a guy
Ran a Hoosle through his chest; now ask yourselves why
Caezim probably seemed eager to expire
With the things all his talking and squawking inspired
By the Great Hooveryahooer! He was planning to drop
The patronage system that we've all come to adopt
Who in their right minds could have possibly thunk
That Bruttilibum would let Caezim get away with this junk?
~~
Citizen 2:
Well spliffer my sloffer and clog up my Klikkerdigs
It seems that old Caezim had a few splendifers in that head of his
~~
Tony:
And look at the calamorous unglamorous evidence here
But remember Bixle's honourable deed before you start to cheer
For the Senate offered Caezim the Glimmerous Grackerous Groat
The Key to the City! The Crown to the Throne!
A higher stature in this wondergliferous place
Could not be attained by a lesser man's face
But still old grunkling gruntbuggling Caezim
Chose the crawling and bawling and bifferous din
Of the underbunklers and the hooversnifflers
And other riff-raffing pifflers
And chose to grinkle himself down
Amongst the lower people of this figglerous town
What kind of a man, all noble and suching
Could think of giving up such a prized thing?
~~
Citizen 1:
Glabbers and glonkers! Tony's spoken the truth
Caezim was as humble as a Brakington No-Tooth!
~~
Citizen 3:
By Saint Biggleton Boggle, there's been a mistake
How could Caezim not be the one to dictate?
What we could have had if his fate had been differed
Well, I think that my anger's been quite rightly miffered
~~
Tony:
And let it be known all over the city
That Bruttilibum did what he did without mercy
For piffling sniffling wormsnakes he killed
To save the Romans from their own murderous free will
And speaking of wills, there's one in my pocket
Should I read it having pluck tucked it right out of his closet?
And besides, this paper is filled with dangers
If I read it, it may pop the top lid off your anger!
~~
Citizen 2:
I'm here to tell you what absolute rot!
There's nothing there that could make us feel what we're not!
~~
Tony:
Splendiferous friends, there's no need for alarm
But for glimmerous Bixle I wish him no harm
~~
Citizen 4:
Glimmerous Bixle and McBrown indeed!
It's them who should suffer for this ignoble deed!
With wafflers and squawkers and smooth talking louses
Upon them we'll drop and then burn all their houses
~~
Tony:
If this is your wonkwinkling passion unleashed
Then I fear that it's only for Caezime you must weep
For it was that guy who refused the Grackerous Groat
And for his glamglorious actions he was slit in the throat
~~
Citizens:
Free tripling bang boomers for Tony and 'Zim
'Till he reads out the will we'll make way for him!
~~
Tony:
I am but a poor soul lost in the hills of WinkWonkoo
Who's friend was stabbed gorily at the base of his statue
Bluffering boringly most boring of speeches
But Bixle over there can give words extra reaches
And if I were to be stuck in a pair of his shoes
Why, I'd rise up for Caezim's commonplace views
Too bad I'm Tony, so small and useless
It's only for Caezim that I'm here with the newses
And here, here's the will that I'm willing to read
So listen up with those EarZoomers and take extra heed
Good old Caezim up there has given you guys a share
Of his place and his riches; I'd say that's pretty fair
Considering all the great stuff this guy's done
You'd think that one Caezim'd still be here 'stead of none!
~~
Citizen 5:
He's got brains in his head and feet in his shoes
And he's saying Caezim woulda given us the power to choose!
~~
Citizen 3:
There's wind in our sails and it's huffing and puffing
Tony the sail huff-puffer ain't bluffing
~~
Narrarator:
So parting and clapping and whooshing and rapping
Flippering, flappering, down the stage Tony was going
And the crowds went wild! What a trememdulous sight
It was when the Romans decided to fight
And off they went going, and off going they went
To find hapless poets on their vengence to vent
And houses to burn down and traitors to kill
And as far as I know, they're off rampaging still.
