I hadn't been to Bath for many many years and it was great fun (despite the variable weather) to explore the place again. The new displays (particularly the clever cgi stuff) in the Roman Baths were very impressive. I dunno, CCDE and all these meets have gone to m' head and I've gone an' written a filk about me. How terribly immodest, please feel free to killfile me at once ...... With sincere apologies to Flanders and Swann who of course wrote my original 'entry music' A shy hippopotamus was surfing one day In the group where the Pratchett fans spar He gazed at J's postings which clearly did say 'Bout a meet in a Somerset bar Gone home from a campsite, sat ircing at night Many afpers had cunning plans laid The Hippopotamus was no igoramus And thought of this sweet serenade Bath, Bath, Georgian Bath Watching the afpers tread tourist path So Wychwood, we'll swallow Down in our hollow And there let us wallow in Georgian Bath The shy hippopotamus, he followed advice There to spy on the Roman remains And bookshops and cheese-shops would also entice With tired feet he would wander the lanes By train and by bus the others arrived Welcome hugs that they gave when they met Our lady of laughter adjusted tiara And gave out more sweets from her set Bath, Bath, Georgian Bath Watching the afpers tread tourist path So there, we'll sip ale And new faces hail And there let us wallow in Georgian Bath That bold a f p army began to convene In the depths of that Hobgoblin pub I wonder now what to say of the scene That ensued as they started to rub They massaged at once, with a giggling 'ooh' Then broke off and started again An a f p army of strange folk so balmy All singing this happy refrain Bath, Bath, Georgian Bath Watching the afpers tread tourist path So Wychwood, we'll swallow Down in our hollow And there let us wallow in Georgian Bath hippo -- http://www.mdatko.btinternet.co.uk http://extraverse.orcon.net.nz/
