Le Lange"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was visiting the small town of Poetry <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Southern Mid West State <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was the birthplace of the president <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that was not the reason I was there <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I was writing a book about Lola Le Lange <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who had been the secret mistress of our leader <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Little was known about her apart from a few likenesses <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was the third illegitimate daughter of a railwayman <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who had lived in the Northern Sector before his execution <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found the house where Lola had lived quite easily <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was a modest residence typical of the area<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the normal red door and golden knocker <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet what made it rather special was that it was next <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To a busy commuter line and an automatic level crossing <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To the right of the house was a very ornate signal box <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which had been built for Lola&#8217;s pleasure only <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As she was fascinated by trains having lived on a station <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was not connected and had no function at all <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was all that remained of Lola&#8217;s memory <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As she had disappeared on a journey to The Astor <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many theories have been presented but none proved <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Had the President tired of his quiet mistress or did she know too much <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where I come in as I have been commissioned by the President <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To write a perfumed biography of Lola Le Lange for mass consumption <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will do so without fuss or bother as I plan to be near the president <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But far far away when my box of perfumed books are presented to him <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">History will remember me as the modest writer who started a revolution <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The railwayman was my father and Lola was my beautiful illegitimate sister <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was visiting the small town of Poetry In the Southern Mid West State It was the birthplace of the president But that was not
