The twists and turns of history

\nIn Umbleania by the Sea
\nThey’re giving cakes away for free
\nThe same thing happens every year
\nFolk gather round to eat and cheer
\nIt celebrates the national day
\nWhen King Bob led the breakaway<\/p>\n
When Umbleania on the Hill
\nControlled the whole peninsular still
\nUmbleanians everywhere
\nHad little happiness to share
\nSo Bob the first, that famous man
\nDevised a most unusual plan<\/p>\n
He trained his men to run and hide
\nSo Hill\u00a0 troops searched them far and wide
\nThey marched and hunted all about
\nUntil they were all tuckered out
\nThen Bob rose up to claim his win
\nAnd independence could begin<\/p>\n
In Umbleania on the Hill
\nKing Bertram was extremely ill
\nThey’d nothing left to celebrate
\nA sorry story to relate
\nThe rulers of this saddest land
\nDecided\u00a0 happiness was banned<\/p>\n
The people though were not convinced
\nSuch policies should be evinced
\nThey left the Kingdom two by two
\nTo seek for lands and fortunes new
\nAnd so arrived, now three by three
\nIn Umbleania by the Sea<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nSome people claim to be confused. As a result of this I have asked the
\nUmbleania tourist office to prepare a whole new series of maps. They
\nmisunderstood and prepared a whole new series of maps of South Australia, which
\nmay not help.<\/p>\n
I will try to do their job for them.<\/p>\n
The easy way to get there is to fly from Bindybandy on the Sand then take a
\ncamel across the Bay then complete your journey by cable car.
\nAlternatively it is a very pleasant cycle ride from Toledo, via Woggawogga. I
\nhope this helps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
