A Reading from the Kopites.

1] THEN the twenty years of plenty came to an end, and twenty years of famine set in.

2] The land was barren, and nothing flourished, and no glory came upon the Kopites.

3] And the Kopites saw the glory of their neighbours to the east, the Devil-Worshippers, and they saw the wealth of the Philistines in the south, who were Muscovites from the house of Chav.

4] Then the Kopites suffered bitterly, and grievously did they pity themselves.

5] And the people came unto the Lord, wailing and rending their garments, which were made from shells.

6] And the Lord said, "Why are you come before me, crying and wailing? Wherefore do you rend your garments that are made from shells?"

7] And the people cried, "Behold, O Lord, we suffer bitterly, like.

8] For Thou hast brought wealth upon the Philistines, and glory to the Devil-Worshippers up the road; but in Thy anger Thou hast forsaken us Kopites, what were once blessed in Thy sight and that."

9] But the Lord replied, "How is it that have I have forsaken you, when I have poured such bounty upon your heads?"

10] But the people looked about them and saw no riches, nor the shining trophies of battle. And they protested unto the Lord, "Where is this bounty then, O Lord, of which Thou fuchen speakest?"

11] And the Lord replied, "Yea, the bounty of the Lord is as the rain, that is drained into the sands of the desert. For it is all gone on the likes of Bruno Cheyrou."

12] But the people wept, and they no longer had faith in the Lord, and banished him from their sight.

13] And the Lord went from that place, and two new Lords came from far away in the West.

14] And the new Lords said that They would lead the people to salvation.

15] Then the people bent over before them, and were overjoyed, and they raised their voices in praise, saying, "We're proper sorted now, la. We're gonna win the league."

16] Now it had come to pass in this time that they greatly exalted the prophet Raphael, who was their leader.

17] For under his rule they fought a battle of many nations, and in the land of Lud they strove against the Berlusconians.

18] And lo, though they were almost destroyed, they fought back and vanquished the enemy, thanks to Stevie G.

19] Then the Kopites made an idol of Raphael, and cried out that he was the saviour, and by his mighty sword they would come forth from the land.

20] But in the end they came fifth.
