The Ballad of Tushyman

A Most Distinguished Musical Ode

Every great gentleman deserves a ballad, and Tushyman is no exception. The Ballad of Tushyman is an original song celebrating the noblest of all Victorian gentlemen — a man whose dignity transcends the peculiar arrangement of his facial features.

The ballad tells the tale of a gentleman of rare countenance who walks tall among us, distinguished from heel to crown, with a posterior of grace upon his face. It is a song of resilience, of refinement, and of the unshakeable belief that one should never be sat down by the circumstances of one's anatomy.
