TTTO "House of the Rising Sun"

There is a froup in alt.fan.*
They call it AFP
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, that includes me

My author writes 'bout Discworld
His name begins with "Prat"
The AFPers refer to him
As "Old Fart In A Hat".

Now the only thing a poster needs
Is a clue, and proper tags
But the only time he's satisfied
Is when reading new hardbacks

Oh mothers, tell your children
Not to wind up just like me
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the froup they call AFP

Got fingers on mouse buttons
The pointer over Send
I'm going back to AFP
To go back round the bend.
