The Songs of the Long Land

Through extensive funding from the Campaign for Real Time (kindest regards to most admirable planetary designer Slartibartfast who provided us with the most generous donation), a manuscript of the original The Songs of the Long Land has at last been available. As it is well known, Lallafa's original manuscript was altered due to the time meddling ways of the Mancurian Correctional Fluid conglomerate who time travelled to enforce their wicked wares.

After careful manipulation of the time-space continuum, we have happened upon the unedited, original manuscript. Lallafa was an ancient poet who wrote of the Long Land (now Planama Water Park) without education and correctional fluid.

Be warned: if you are using a babelfish, the original mistakes in spelling, grammar, syntax and spelling will be removed and translated from the original Old Corrovian Planama it was written in to your vernacular language. No responsibility will be taken for translations into Vogon or Azgothian as it is highly suggested by galactic linguistic experts that any poetry in these languages could be enough to cause internal bleeding and homicide committed by anyone with a poetic nature.
