no singing period today's new
rule there will be no singing from
morning until night and from night until
morning that is my word and that is the
law by the order of his Imperial

keep them quiet so I can at last have
some peace from now on only I shall
sing must not sing must not dance must
not laugh or lose your pants that's the
rule That's the Law not allowed to say
haha if you do night or day wo is you
you have to pay
one would think you could get a little
law passed around here without such a
big fuss come Darlings it's time for our
mud
baths before I leave though one more
piece of
business here are the names of those who
already broke the rule
today when it is dry go read it to the
villagers

even find the cook just because he sang
while feeding us our breakfast this
morning it's just not fair remember what
