Many people are aware of the United States Air Force’s ultra-secret Area 51 facility. What you might not know is the United Kingdom has its very own compound where sensitive technology, and it is rumoured alien devices might be found. Yes, of course I am talking about Area 5.1. What it lacks is high tech mystique, it more than makes up for in old world charm. Well, that’s what the website says any way.
Padre
It has been whispered
And rumoured
Speculated and conject’ed
That something is up
That wasn’t expected
Just what it is
I’m not a liberty to say
It’s best kept under my hat
It’s better that way
Padre
Fingerprints taken, photos made –
In anticipation of the secrets – to you conveyed.
Sign the documents, your oath to keep –
Not to utter a word, not as much as a peep.
Knowledge is power –
And power is not to be shared –
The secrets you hold –
To “need to know” only –
Ever shall be declared.
It is the state of things –
In the now and here –
It’s a lot of hassle –
About a recipe for beer.
