The Glorious 25th of May: They Did the Job They Didn't Have to Do

[effervescible]

The People's Republic of Treacle Mine Road had the Glorious Revolution of the 25th of May, in which Keel's Lilac Lads fought for Freedom, Truth, Justice, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard Boiled Egg. (Also, they fought to avoid dying, and because it seemed the right thing to do at the time.)

All the little angels rise up, rise up,
all the little angels rise up high!
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up,
How do they rise up, rise up high?

They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, they rise heads up, heads up high!

All the little angels rise up, rise up,
All the little angels rise up high!
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up,
How do they rise up, rise up high?

They rise knees up, knees up, knees up, they rise knees up, knees up high!

All the little angels rise up, rise up,
All the little angels rise up high!
How do they rise up, rise up, rise up,
How do they rise up, rise up high?

They rise feet up, feet up, feet up, they rise feet up, feet up high!

All the little angels rise up, rise up,
All the little angels rise up high!

It's a traditional May 25th post.

Ah, thank you. I'm wearing my traditional 25th of May T-shirt, which someone made (with Mr. Pratchett's permission) for a fundraiser a while back.

Every year when the lilacs start blooming I think about it.

The lilac bloomed too early here for the 25th of May, but when it happened, I picked some anyways.

I note you didn't write the dirty verses.
