Sleeping Princess Yum Yum

"Bang!" goes another kanga on the bonnet of the van/ see the light ram through the gaps in the land/ many an Aborigine's mistaken for a tree/ Til' you near him on the motorway and the tree begins/ to breathe/ Coming in with the golden light/ In the morning/ Coming in with the golden light/ Is the New Man/ Coming in with the golden light/ Is my dented van/ Woomera. "Dree-ee-ee-ee-ee- A-a-a-a-a- M-m-m-m-m- Ti-ti-ti-ti-ti- I-i-i-i-i- Me-me-me-me-me,"

Crack

I am standing in the doorway. My aunt and my mother are on the street and they are roller skating. My aunt tries to do a move where she swings my mother under her legs and up - like a jitterbug, but it goes awry. My mother faints as she comes up and therefore hits the pavement with the full weight of her body, head first. I hear a terrible "crack" - is it her head or her neck? I scream and call 911. The phone rings and rings to infinity.

    What does this have to do with Princess Yum-Yum from The Thief and the Cobbler?
