Ah, that was you was it?  Well done. That room WAS promised to the filkers, and
then the dancers took over the room after being kickied out of their own.
Domino theory as applied to SF cons... :->  Alas, my kid came down with
something icky whilst I was there so I spent most of the con back in the room
taking care of her instead of out filking, so, alas, I missed the whole thing.

       JEST FUR A SPELL
       Words: Kay Shapero
       Tune: M.O.T.H.E.R.
F is for the artificial Fox fur
U is for the Ungulate style toes
R is for the Rabbit ears and whiskers
R for Rudolph Reindeer's shiny nose
Y is for the headdress made from Yak horns
draped in several yards of gold brocade.

Put them all together; that's the costume
I'm wearing in the Masquerade!
