All over the world there are filkers who yearn
For places they wish they could go.
Not only for Dune or for Pell or for Pern:
But beaches or bars* or a show.
* you may sub “pub”, but the American term “bar” alliterates with “beach”
They seek out a crowd as they sit home alone,
The second best way that they know:
At every filk circle in every time zone,
Their spirits need somewhere to go.
| Chorus: |
Soon they’re following a filk song. Following a theme. Circles take place in a virtual space. With many raised hands on the screen. |
And if you would go where these devotees go
There’s plenty of room for you there
In blank squares or avatars all in a row
And video too if you dare.
And if you once thought of a virtual con
As novel, exciting and rare,
You now wonder where all your evenings have gone
With not a free weekend to spare.
Now you’re following a filk song.
Following a theme.
Circles take place in a virtual space.
With many raised hands on the screen.
