A Great Flame Went To Boston

Part 1

Sable
The Great Flame went up to Boston
They were looking for a filk to write
They were in a bind cause they were way behind
And they were looking to start a fight

When they came upon a cool guy
Writing a filk and plotting a plot
And the Great Flame sat down across from him
And said, “Like, dude, let me tell you what”

Tempest
“I guess you didn’t know it, but I’m a filk writer too
And if you’d care to take a dare I’ll make a bet with you
Now you write a pretty good filk there, dude
But give the Great Flame their due
I bet I can write more
Sable said she’d keep score
I bet mine are all better, too”

ECC
The dude said, “My name’s ECC,
Your filks are good, and yet
It’s about time you got out rhymed
You got yourself a bet.”

All
Both of you prepare your songs
And settle down to sing
Cause there’s only July to write
The best filks you can bring
We’ll ask the Tome Knights all to vote
For charity with bits
We’ll see who wins
This battle of the wits!

[Musical Interlude]

Part 2

Sable
The challenged sent his filk to me
And he said, "I'll start this show"
And literomancy filked from his throat
With Birdhouse for the Tome
The Great Flame countered with flaming bees
Then they and I lost The Plot
When AuthorGoddess called ECC
And then his soul was sold and bought

[Musical Interlude]

Sable
When comedy was called, Tempest said,

Tempest
“Well, you’re pretty blithe, my friend
I may be behind, but I think you’ll find,
I’ll win this in the end”

Tempest and Sable
King Bob faced off against In the Void
The Monarq’s filking heir really was annoyed
Writing is the filk that Revoked his dream
And The Filk Got Out of the Results Stream

[Musical Interlude]

Sable
The Great Flame soon Brought Out Their Words
But then the score was tied
Then Letters In the Air, it won
And the Great Flame glowed with pride
Tempest said,

Tempest
“Listen to me, ECC
You Built Your Story on Blood and Words,
“I’m the Filkmaster, you Monster of filk
We’re a bunch of filking nerds!”

All
They’re the Fire in the Warren,
Hearth and home
The Monarq’s fightin’ hard
For the Iron Tome
Is the Great Flame alive?
Well I hope they live
Anyway, We’ve No More Filks to Give
