Queen's 'Flash' anagrammed into a play set in the British alt.anagrams Mission Control Spaceship...

Flash - Ah - Saviour of the universe
Flash - Ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
Seemingly there is no reason for these
Extraordinary intergalactical upsets (ha ha ha)
What's happening Flash?
Only Dr Hans Zarkov formerly at N A S A
Has provided any explanation
Flash - Ah - He's a miracle
This mornings unprecedented solar eclipse
Is no cause for alarm
Flash - Ah - King of the impossible
He's for ev'ry one of us
Stand for ev'ry one of us
He'll save with a mighty hand
Ev'ry man ev'ry woman ev'ry child
With a mighty Flash
General Gala - Flash Gordon approaching
What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
Open fire all weapons
Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body
Flash - Ah
Gordon's alive
Flash - Ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
Just a man with a man's courage
He knows nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No one but the pure in heart
May find the golden grail oh oh oh oh
Flash Flash I love you
But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth, Flash.

"Brash! - Ah! - Saviour of the universe!
Brash! - Ah! - He'll 'gram every one of us!"

2. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
3. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them.

6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbour's.

The Net Commandments

1. (Yes, ONE!) - Thou shalt not spameth, or oh boy oh boy, thou shalt deserveth death... instant death!
2. Thou shalt not flameth, unless it is to some annoying arsehole who hath brokeneth the above commandment.

5. THOU SHALT NOT SHOUTETH IN LETTERS LIKE THESE! Oh no, that is very rude, if thou knoweth.
6. Thou shalt not behaveth in an offensive manner.
7. Thou shalt not writeth any test messages.
8. Thou shalt even be honest about thy hot horny honey fixation.
9. Thou shalt subscribeth to Alt.Anagrams, and then giveth thy vote in thy Anagrammy Awards thingy.
10. Therefore, mate, thou shalt ever honoureth The Word of both the High Lords, thy Richard Grantham and thy Larry Brash.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread,
Then whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.

There was a man who... well, he 'grammed the month thru,
He had so many 'Noms', he didn't know what to do.
So he chased the lovely Linda, hopped up to bed,
But in vain - bah! - he only twisted words instead!
