The Fibbie Filksong

by Susan M. M

Just a wee bit of fluff: silly and plotless. Listed as poetry only because there is no filksong category. To the tune of "B-I-N-G-O Was His Name-O". Sue Thomas, F B Eye, Numb3rs, Without a Trace, Criminal Minds, Princess Bride.

I believe this is what you 'netfic folks call "Crack". It was originally published as filler in Neon RainBow Press' fanzine Compadres. Sorry, I don't remember which issue of Compadres. I envision this as a duet, Voice A in ordinary type, Voice B in italics; any words inside parentheses as whispered conversation, the words not in parentheses as the song itself. Just a bit of silliness. Like all good filk songs, it should be song in the traditional key of Off.

/~*~*~*

There was a Fibbie had a dog,

And Thomas was her name-o.

T-H-O-M-S, T-H-O-M-S, T-H-O-M-S,

And Thomas was her name-o.

{Er, that's misspelled.}

(Yes, I know, but if I spell it right it doesn't scan.)

{Oh. Okay.}

/~*~*~*

There was a Fibbie had a bro,

And Charlie was his name-o.

E-P-P-E-S, E-P-P-E-S, E-P-PE-S,

And Charlie was his name-o.

/~*~*~*

{Wait, you can't sing his first name and spell his last name.}

(A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.)

/~*~*~*

There was a Fibbie found lost folks,

And Danny was his name-o.

D-A-N-N-Y, D-A-

/~*~*~*

{Why Taylor? Why not Fitzgerald?}

(Because Martin doesn't scan, and neither does Fitzgerald. Now may I finish the verse?)

{All right.}

/~*~*~*

D-A-N-N-Y, D-A-N-N-Y, D-A-N-N-Y,

And Danny was his name-o.

/~*~*~*

There was a Fibbie profiled creeps,

And Gideon was his name-o.

I-N-I-G-O, I-N-I-G-O, I-N-I-G-O,

My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!

{Now you're just being silly.}
