If I see her again,
I shall meet my doom
In the smoke-filled air
Of the chair-ringed room,
When the hour is late
And the seats are bare,
In the form of an upturned
Well-aimed chair.
For where there’s a tune, there are filks to spare,
And one of the filks
Is mine.
I never did think of a middle verse, but Leslie Fish wrote one herself for Tapeworm 1.
We will see her again
When the mikes shall cry,
When the lights fall down
As the notes run high.
She will strike a chord
On her old guitar
With its twelve strings bare
To the heaven’s stars.
She will sing all night ’til they close the bars,
And no one in sight
Will mind.
