I've just watched a documentary over on channel 5, And it was the strangest thing I ever saw... About a 3 foot high Pygmy tribe That lived in hut's made of straw There had been a hunting accident In which their Chief had died And following this tragic event They needed a new leader for the tribe According to tradition It would be the eldest Son But as they were afraid of superstition Something first had to be done The throne had to be hidden from view To avoid any bad luck So they built a second floor out of Bamboo And hoisted it right up On the eve of the inaugural celebration They danced beneath the throne And in the midst of the ceremonial bash , The ceiling suddenly began to groan .... Followed by an almighty crash As the Pygmies lay in the debris All you could hear were coughs and groans So the moral of this story is .... " People who live in grass house's should not store thrones..." "Ignorance is the Enemy...." |
