Getting it wrong involves writing a verse that doesn’t actually scan at all.
Or rhyme
or have any kind of subject like that thing we talked about once, you know
It also has the wrong number of lines and doesn’t make sense.
You could grow up to get it wrong
Would you like to swing on a star,
carry moonbeams in a jar
and be better off than you are?
A Mod is an animal that lives on caffine
If his mouse breaks down he can get really mean
He moves threads around to the appropriate forum
He’ll lock that bitch if you start to bore him
But if power and wit make you feel like a god
You may grow up to be a Mod
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
A filk is a parody or humorous song
To write one, it shouldn’t take you long
Just pick a catchy tune that most would know
Add new doggerel, and there you go!
So if your tastes run to satire of that ilk
You could grow up to write a filk
Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
