In a far off distant land, many moons ago a community lived in peace, harmony and contentment. Who were they? They were curtain poles! Despite their many different personalities they had learned to get along just fine.
The curtain poles lived in times of trouble and persecution. The world was evolving around them and for a while they struggled to keep their finials above water. A society of fast food and video games had left the poor curtain poles and tracks behind.
It was all well and good having a peaceful community but the future didnt look good for curtain pole village. Some began to struggle and wander off the tracks.
One day Queen of the curtain poles, whose name was Nikola (aged 35) decided that she didn't want to live in the shadows any longer. No more would she holdback. She wanted to be seen, she wanted to feel important, she wanted to restore some prestige, so she set about organising a curtain pole uprising. After much preparation and training and when every aspect of the invasion had been carefully planned, they were ready! The poles and tracks army were about to be unleashed upon the world.
Whilst they were undergoing their rigorous training the curtain pole army began making weapons. They used anything they could get their hands on. They used wood (grafting weapons out of walnut, oak and pine) and all kinds of different metal (chrome, brass, silver) and painted them in lots of different colours.
Curtain pole village was alive with a new sense of purpose. A nervous, excited atmosphere, poles apart from what had gone before. Patiently waiting for the battle cry, the soldiers made their final preparations and fine tunings. Each with their personal insignia carved into their helmets and shields. If nothing else, they would look exquisite in battle. Home accessories everywhere would want to emulate their couture appearance. Orion looked down on them proudly, the heavens approving of the army's grandeur.
Queen Nikola amassed the army before her, an inspirational speech ready, for she would lead them all into battle herself. The world was about to be struck like a bolt from the blue and towns and cities everywhere would feel curtain pole wrath. From Lincoln to Los Angeles, Havana to Hampshire and Basingstoke to Belgravia, no place would be left untouched until the domination was complete.
They would attack with stealth and speed, from all angles they would appear. By land, by air, by sea and even by monorail! Holdback, holdback, holdback! Queen Nikola cried, waiting for just the right moment.
Attack! Attack! Attack! rang out, and it had begun. The speed and effectiveness of the invasion was incredible. From land, air and sea did the curtain poles come, bringing total victory yet filled with mercy. Casualties were very few such was the skilled infiltration. Windows and doors up and down every land bore the mark of the curtain pole.
Of course I am far too young to remember this historic battle of curtain pole hill but my grandfather told me many stories about it and I have since seen many documentaries and movies about it. My favourite starring Sally Florentine and Edward Rockingham was The Charge of the Telescopic Curtain Pole. Although I have to admit that Saving Private Finial runs it a close second. Dominic Galleria was magnificent in that! - 15359
