Filksong I heard at a con once (to the tune of “God rest ye, merry gentlemen”):

Repent ye, Harlan Ellison! Says science fiction’s dead!  
Yet he keeps writing more and calls it “fantasy” instead  
He’s retired seven times this year but he’ll come out again  
If you offer him an award  
A Galaxy or Nebula  
If you offer him an award
