Subject: [OTL]: Filk (Sandman): The Shortish Dark-Haired Goth Girl Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 09:12:17 -0700 (PDT) From: Dark Mark Posted this one recently to a Neil Gaiman message board and thought you might enjoy it. What the heck, it's free! Characters are property of DC Comics, which probably doesn't know or care what we're doing, but no infringement is intended and no money's being made. *sob* (To the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas"): There's a shortish dark-haired Goth girl We'll meet eventually I'm sure we'll make acquaintance With ambiguity, The lady's known both far and wide In every sort of land But you had best beware her When she offers you her hand! For the shortish dark-haired Goth girl, She does not hesitate, Conducting all her business-- Which is deanimate. You may call upon her brother, With pockets full of sand-- But he'll only step aside and let her Take you by the hand! Yes, the shortish dark-haired Goth girl Will greet you by and by, So be sure to offer courtesy (That's just before you die) Remember, gents, to tip your hat, Though it be your last stand, She'll smile at you and say, "It's through," And take you by the hand! Yes, she'll smile at you and say, "It's through," And take you by the hand! (This is revenge for Neil pointing out on BABYLON 5 that you can also sing Emily Dickinson poems to this song.) ===== DarkMark and while you're at it, why not visit DarkMark's Domain at http://www.envy.nu/darkmark90/darkmark1.htm for more stories?
