Well.....I would LOVE to have documentation that R. Kipling wrote those 
words, but I fear this is an Urban Legend on the same lines that Bobby Burns 
wrote the "Ball of Ballyknure (Kirriemuir)."

The last three lines in that verse are lifted almost verbatim from one of
the songs of John Valby, aka Doctor Dirty. One of his "Question and
Response" dirty ditties. I think it's on his album "Concerto for Piano,
Voice, and 900 Screaming Assholes". (If you're offended by the title,
whatever you do, don't listen to the album!)

If this is to the "Lumberjack Song' (Monty Python) then the stress is
indeed on "I'm" in the first line, and AB is correct.  If it is to the
original song, then I don't know it.  (And, of course, you have to
pronounce 'FREQ' as one syllable, whereas I would normally say
'eff-reck', which confused me for a while when I first saw the song).

Some filk is parody stuff; the better filk, generally, is original.  I suppose

        The last time I heard this song it was being sung by that filkish
luminary, Clif Flynt. In his version, the first three lines of this verse went 
as follows:
        "Now if these methods all prove vain
        "Then you may break a window pain
        "A subtle method used by very few"

Once you've managed to work out the coding system!  It's a good thing I
already knew the tune - even so, it took me quite a while to work out
the note lengths (OK, it doesn't help that I'm used to the British
system of using Crotchet instead of Quarter-note etc.).

How about posting the syntax, for those who haven't seen it before?  Or
is this a FAQ (come to think of it, *is* there a FAQ list posted?  I
haven't seen one, but since I'm on the Internet side, it may not have
got here...).

ALL:

     Anyone have the slightest who they (Misty) decided on to sing the part of 
Vanyel on the companion tape "Shadowstalker"?  It's due out in september and
so I put a hold on it though I'm not sure if I could handle Vanyel sounding
like some Over-rated opra star, singing in a discusting over rated
Base..........

          Comments welcome

Well, Tom Smith was planning to have his new tape, _Domino Death_, out for
