After having seen all these verses of "Passengers Will Please Refrain", which
scans very well to "City of New Orleans", I decided to do a filk of "CNO" in
honor of Kitty, the Sysop of Kitty's Sandbox in the northern part of Tempe.
That's in the Land of Az, for you non-natives. She runs the best board in the
state, IMNSHO!

"Kitty of North Tempe" (to the tune of Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans")
(c) 1992, Scott Malcomson
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ridin' on the phone lines out in 'Zonie
Maricopa County, northern Tempe trail
Fido netfeed, fifty restless users
One sysop
Twenty-five packets of mail.

All across the Southwest network feed
The board pulls data for all to see
That reappears upon your CRT

Users who never use their names 
Crackin' puns that know no shame
An' the sales ads for the rusted IBM clones.

Good Mornin', FidoNet, how are ya?
Say, doncha know me, I'm just havin' fun
I'm the Sysop they call "Kitty of North Tempe"
I'll upload some mail here before I'm done!

Playin' referee for the old men in the flamewar
Nigglin' points, and everyone's keepin' score
They pass some rumors off in lieu of knowledge
Nothin's solved, but brownie points count for more!

And the beasts of Furry Fandom
And the Trekkies with Spock ears
Ride Kitty's magic carpet
On their phone

Users falling half-asleep
Fingers tapping to the beat
Of the cathode-ray tube's
Faint methodical drone.

Good Mornin', FidoNet, how are ya?
Say, doncha know me, I'm just havin' fun
I'm the Sysop they call "Kitty of North Tempe"
I'll upload another .GIF before I'm done!

Nighttime comes to Kitty's Sandbox early
Logging on to Stormgate in L.A.
If I'm lucky, I'll be done by mornin'
Meet the rising sun hunched over a CRT.

And all the aliases people use
Seem mainly intended to confuse
We poor Sysops who always must contend

With phone bills and electric costs
Important mail that just gets lost
And fanac that are going 'round the bend!

Good Night, FidoNet, how are ya?
Say, doncha know me, I'm just havin' fun
I'm the Sysop they call "Kitty of North Tempe"
I'll download a thousand files before I'm done!


    This is done in rather tongue-in-cheek honor of Kitty, who keeps Arizona
FurFandom linked up with the rest of you nice folx, often at peril of personal
life and limb! Well, maybe not limb... :)

 Greetings...

 I qualify it as PERFECT Filk, it gives a good idea that the song is more
important than the voice     (-8

  Also gets the point that wanting to sing it, is a lot more common than
singing talent.

  Simply read:

   " I'm a filker,
     I sing to the key of Off,
     I may not hit the notes,
     but sure can scare the shit out of 'em...
     My guitar is called Lovely Angel,
     my keyboard sounds better switched off
     and my harmonica should be put to death,
     but I still don't know,
     Why is the bearded lady,
     trying to shove an octopus up the cat's ass..."

Interesting song!  I copied it to another area (one GOOD thing of Bluewave!)
to a dear friend who is running the game of that name (sorry; I *am* a poet)
on another board in this area.....  We met via that game.  If you want to

a bit for "Songs of Silver John" and "The New Album!" Those will blow your

One small thing, Deborah, and I DO appreciate your suggestions (as I will
anyone and everyone who wants to make them), Real Old Time Religion is not (I 
think) something I'll be able to do up there, because of all the LDS up there. 
 A majority of the attendees are going to be students of BYU, which is 99%
Mormon.  Therefore, nothing which pokes fun at religion (and that would be
considered poking fun at religions) is allowed.

Right.  The puns around here smell bad enough.

Glad you liked it! And correction duly noted for future reference.

        Not only that... but I've found I've got this horrible problem of 
forgetting the tune to "Dane-Geld" if I've sung "Undertaker's Horse" anytime
earlier that day.  It gets extremely frustrating because I've got neither of
them on tape and wind up spending an hour or so trying to pick out the
right tune.
