The twists and turns of history

In Umbleania by the Sea
They’re giving cakes away for free
The same thing happens every year
Folk gather round to eat and cheer
It celebrates the national day
When King Bob led the breakaway
When Umbleania on the Hill
Controlled the whole peninsular still
Umbleanians everywhere
Had little happiness to share
So Bob the first, that famous man
Devised a most unusual plan
He trained his men to run and hide
So Hill troops searched them far and wide
They marched and hunted all about
Until they were all tuckered out
Then Bob rose up to claim his win
And independence could begin
In Umbleania on the Hill
King Bertram was extremely ill
They’d nothing left to celebrate
A sorry story to relate
The rulers of this saddest land
Decided happiness was banned
The people though were not convinced
Such policies should be evinced
They left the Kingdom two by two
To seek for lands and fortunes new
And so arrived, now three by three
In Umbleania by the Sea
Author notes
Some people claim to be confused. As a result of this I have asked the
Umbleania tourist office to prepare a whole new series of maps. They
misunderstood and prepared a whole new series of maps of South Australia, which
may not help.
I will try to do their job for them.
The easy way to get there is to fly from Bindybandy on the Sand then take a
camel across the Bay then complete your journey by cable car.
Alternatively it is a very pleasant cycle ride from Toledo, via Woggawogga. I
hope this helps.
