Excerpts from ancient Obbian texts founds at a garage sale. I tried to piece it together as a chronological narrative to the best of my abilities. My apologies in advance.
The Grey One created the giant Obb
to keep the other giants from his wife
for she was the giantess Thesia
from which all sound came and
captivated the giants, but Obb had
no ears, only one giant eye that spun
in all directions, but he still fell in love
with Thesia and battled the Grey One
and his eye Obbus was plucked from battle
and his body cut into four parts
from those four parts came four pairs
of twins to watch over the Obbus

Pheogus and Phaecate ruleth the sky,
Pheogus governs day, Phaecate ruleth night
Screius and Sirusi ruleth the elements,
Screius governs land, Sirusi governs sea
Dakhus and Draci ruleth those who dwell,
Dakhus governs man, Draci governs beast
and Umes and Unur ruleth that beneath the land
Umes governs the good, Unur governs the wicked
those impartial judges of the perished

The Bachamille they lived
as Pheogus, Screius, Dakhus
The Diaclinians of which
Phaecate, Sirusi, and Draci conspired
(Source: Bachamille)
…the Obbus, the all of them,
Obb, their father on whom they and man live,
but to Umes and Unur man may not pay tribute
for they are to remain unmoved by the dead
except for their living deeds
(Source: Historěa Ukor)
Ferdae chases the Nenini and the Nenini
chases Ferdae, gentle blue Ferdae,
whose caretaker is Pheogus, Ferdae
who gallops across the sky all day, as
the Nenini, Phaecate's black wolves
of the night sky, hide and hunt in packs
(Source: Bachamille)
Obbus watches over Obb's kin
for they are to destroy the Grey One?
How?!
For they are all fools bound to hatred
of their twin,
Obb shall never again be one
his pieces will fight to the end of his eye
when the Grey One returns
and feeds it to his feathered serpent
(Source: Triocledes' Obbi)
'Follow the gold road to reclaim
my lost cestus from my father's
father's enemies and punishment
shall be lifted and Tressa shall be yours.'
(Source: Historěa Ukor)
Ukor, the greatest king of Filidor,
spikes did cover his hands, yet his
touch was gentle in all his dealings
with his subjects and servants, his lineage
extended to Arbus where the throne
did once bear his crest.

"You don't get too fat in wartime"
by Tony Kinsey
Theme song to EWTN's
G. K. CHESTERTON:
THE APOSTLE OF COMMON SENSE
hosted by Dale Ahlquist
Lyrics:
We're keeping the oak fires burning here on wartime rations
I'm hoping this week to have a little meat
to eat a decent meal has really gone out of fashion
but fashion can wait for a nice pair of pig's feet
I've not seen a blooming sausage now for a quite a long time
keep dreaming at night of sausage pie and mash
for bacon and two eggs I'd give you a diecast goldmine
but pie in the sky is all you can get for cash
but you don't get too fat in wartime
I'm as thin as a blinking rake
while walking 'round the house last Tuesday
I walked right through the door jamb by mistake
now 'n me and the wife have a coddle
our arms wrap around each other twice
no, you don't get too fat in wartime
but if it helps to beat old Jerry it's alright
while queuing a sweet together a little bit of butter
I spoke to a woman living down our way
she said let's go on home
her lovely little green eyes did flutter
though fluttering's nice
butter it was for me that day
when this war is done I think I will save all my pennies
and go for a slap of meal at some posh place
I'll order enough meat to feed all the British army
and eat enough pud to feed off the human race
but you don't get too fat in wartime
I'm as thin as a blinking rake
while walking 'round the house last Tuesday
I walked right through the door jamb by mistake
now 'n me and the wife have a coddle
our arms wrap around each other twice
no, you don't get too fat in wartime
but if it helps to beat old Jerry it's alright
but if it helps to beat old Jerry it's alright
