See the summer sunshine filter through the forest fires,
The sun still struggling to shine.
It's this smoky summer that I find so very strange
This smoky sullen summertime.
| Chorus: |
The sun it hangs like egg yolk, Dim and subdued: A red-hot coal, or the golden goose's brood. It makes parks turn pink. It's a forest's surest sign. The slightly surreal sunlight of the Spokane summertime That surely is a forest fire's sign. |
There's no stranger setting, no locale that feels so weird,
Fitting science fiction more.
In the whole of fandom, not a single other con
Provides this right outside your door!
(Chorus)
When your Worldcon's not as otherworldly as you'd wish,
And the filk has not been fun,
Remember: There’s no need to take a trip aboard a rocket ship
To walk beneath a strange new sun!
For final chorus, leave off “the sun”.
(Chorus)
