Because I can't resist it, some final thoughts and a song.
Panjandrum. Little Hitler. Führer. What I say goes. Little tin god. High and mighty. Abuse of power. Anyone remember this?
When we caught the seven hundred men Who said: “suspend them by their fuzz.” Was I Wazir? – I was. ………”Was he Wazir? – He was.” When the keeper of the royal zoo was short a cock-a-too or two Who sealed him in a pot of glue? Was I Wazir? – I was. ………”Was he Wazir? – He was. ………He has a way of learning what he wants to know ………Delicate, but to the point.” They always seem to remember When I begin to dismember Them arm by arm and ear by ear and joint by joint. When the court musician lost his grasp And let his lute begin to rasp Who had him bitten by an asp? Was I Wazir? – I was. ………”Was he Wazir? – He was.” The time we caught the man who said I wasn’t nice ………”Joy! O joy! That was a time” I confiscated his mother And then did something or other Involving her dissolving in a vat of lime. When at last in manner neat deft I’ve hacked and hatcheted and cleft Until no one but me is left I want it clear ………”He wants it clear” I was Wazir. ………”And is Wazir ………In every single charming and disarming thing he does.” Was I Wazir? ………”Wazir he was.”
From the musical Kismet. Based on “Hassan” by James Elroy Flecker. Music adapted from the Polovtsian Dances from Borodin’s Prince Igor
