“If I Brought My Grandma Through”
 from “If I Fell”
by the Beatles

If I brought my grandma through
Would it be all right with you
For Tuuri
To wake up?
Cause I need her to come forth
And assist me even more
Than I
Could make up

If I do my part
For you
I’ll need some help
From the very start
So you
Should let me
Revive her

If I bring you two
Will she
Be by my side
When I leave you soon
And be
My faithful guide
Just her
Or my hopes will be in vain
And I
Would be flushing out my life
Down the drain

So I hope you see
That I
Will bring you back two
And that she
Can fly
From Tuonela too
Or my hopes will be in vain
And I
Would be flushing out my life
Down the drain

So I hope you see
That I
Will bring you back two
And that she
Can fly
From Tuonela too
If I brought my grandma through

“The Circle of Floof”
from “The Circle of Life”
by Elton John & Lebo M.

From the moment we clicked on the F5
And blinking look at the new page
The cuteness we see
In this bedding-down scene
Brings such happiness into our lives

Some say the bears will eat them
Some say just wait and see
But all are agreed
At the end of their screeds
That this page on our screens makes us squee

In the circle of floof, it’s the squeal of cuteness
It’s the sleep of trust, it’s the band of clowns
And the sadness of the three bears in pursuit
Of that circle, the circle of floof

Kitty and Tuuri sleep so cute
As Mama Bear comforts her cubs
That we just can’t help but disqus it
This cuteness is so what we love

After the cuteness of that page
With its fanservice sauna and then
Go from Reynir’s hair poof
To the circle of floof
And the sleeping ones curled up within

[Grade E cat]

Nice! My mother decided she wanted to watch The Lion King again not that long ago and I can't say no to a Disney movie, so the original is still fairly fresh in my mind.

“Rotting Bear”
from “Running Bear”
by Johnny Preston

In the wide
Open window
Sat Rotting Bear
Guarding her cubs

On the outside
Out in the downpour
Stinky Moose
Stood like a schlub

Creepy critters
With dentition
That you’d never
Think to see

Will these two fight
With each other
Or will they let
Each other be?

Rotting Bear
And Stinky Moose
Looking in
Each others’ eyes

Rotting Bear
And Stinky Moose
As the rain
Pours from the skies

Now all the comments
Are filled with horror
‘Cause the Moose-Beast
Is so vile

And if Mama
Fights and loses
What will happen
To her child?

Naked mole rat
Though it looks like
It’s still better
Than the Moose

And its poor sibling
The living bear rug
In this battle
Can’t be of use

Rotting Bear
And Stinky Moose
Looking in
Each others’ eyes

Rotting Bear
And Stinky Moose
As the rain
Pours from the skies

Rotting Bear
Growled at the Hiisi
Just before it
Came on the scene

She’s protecting
Her two cubbies
We don’t think that
She’s so mean

As the rain falls
And they face off
Until we get
The next page

Is it combat
Or a friendship
For which Minna’s
Set the stage?

Rotting Bear
And Stinky Moose
Looking in
Each others’ eyes

Rotting Bear
And Stinky Moose
As the rain
Pours from the skies

I’m writing a few tunes to some of the SSSS-poems, and thought, they might fit here.
My stuff probably won’t compare to the works of the SSSS Musical (https://ssssforum.com/index.php?topic=58.0), but might still be enjoyable.

So here goes: “Someone’s tapping on the Strings” arranged for Keyboard, text by “Keep Looking” (http://disq.us/p/26v64a3).

• Synthesized (harpsicord): https://groupoid.ch/cbus/ssss/2021/Tapping_on_the_Strings_2021-01-28.wav

Oh, clever! A very bouncy little tune.

[Groupoid]

Oh, clever! A very bouncy little tune.

Thanks.

Here’s a little thing about sheep. The text I used is this:

Adventure 2, Page 234

Sheep eat paper, left unread
And rocks beneath their hooves that tread
A pair of scissors shear their heads
None can beat the sheep, he said.

Bang! The sheep is dead.

• Synthesized (WAV)
• Score (PDF)
• Source file (Denemo)

I tried to give it more accompaniment, but I always felt, that it detracted from the main melody... Not sure what to do about it.

The score also contains “Reynir had a llittle lamb” by PressAllButtons, set to the appropriate melody. I think these lyrics could be expanded ad-absurdum, by squeezing more story/stanzas between the first and the second line. But it probably won’t make it much funnier.

[moredhel]

I am a fan of reynir had a little lamb.

[Keep Looking]

Oh!! That's my sheep poem!

I really like the tune you made, I think it matched the mood well and just sounded nice. I'd better check out the other tune as well, if it's off my work!

Resurrected just in time for the end...

"The Ending's Here"
From "We’re All Alone"
Frankie Valli & Boz Scaggs

The time is now at hand
This tale we love shall end
We’re just before
Nevermore
A page
About which we can squee
No, nevermore
No, nevermore

Minna had a dream
She shared for all to see
And we raved
Her brain-waves
Met ours
All of us were wowed
This world she’s shown
This world she’s shown

Now the window
Shows the sight
The comic goes to night
And all its lights go out
Without doubt
Though we love these friends
The comic’s at an end

Once a story’s told
It cannot but grow old
Slogging through
Adventure Two
We passed
Our patience with the Finns
The end is here
Ending’s here

Now the window
Shows the sight
The comic goes to night
And all its lights go out
Without doubt
Though we love these friends
All of us were wowed
This world she’s shown
This world she’s shown

Now the window
Shows the sight
The comic goes to night
And all its lights go out
Without doubt
Though we love these friends
All of us were wowed
For sure

[Jitter]

Looney, this gives me Feels! 😭😭😭

[Róisín]

Likewise. So good to have you filking again. Also, happy birthday for last week!

[LooNEY_DAC]

Huh. I seem to have forgotten to put this here.

...Oops?

This was originally supposed to be for Pg 331, but the comments closed before I was done (oops). Thus, the title.

“Unexpected Second Chance”
from “Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye”
by Paul Williams & Archie Hahn

ROD SERLING spoken intro: The Swan.
It has no other name.
It’s worked throughout history, and that work has fallen into legend.
The realm of Tuonela is its home, and it guards that home as though it were Fort Knox.
This realm is full of sleeping souls, and the swan goes forth to guide more home when they meet their fate.
It is terrible and gentle all at once.
The only thing it really hates is all of the paperwork that goes with the job.
Now, it has defended its home against an intruder who says he’s searching for a single soul:
His grandmother’s, entrapped in a foul kade.
This song is the story of that search, of that soul:
of the man who sought it,
the girl who loved it,
and the monster who stole it.

[Sung]
You’ll be part of me
Forever, Ensi
With the others I’ve arrayed
You can’t escape the trap I’ve laid
By blood

Ensi Hotakainen
Crux of my designin’
I just couldn’t leave her alive

Though I got to Hilja
Won’t escape me, will ya?
I got in your mind
And so you’re mine!

But your little magelings
Plan on doing strange things
Want to get you out of my grasp
They can’t overcome me
But it wouldn’t bum me
Catching two mages
One for the ages
Ah-Ha

[Spoken]
And now, the grandsons’ story
Onni’s sister, Tuuri the Bold, slumbered in Tuonela
To get her help he would have to become a very brazen fella
Onni believed he could reclaim his grandma if Tuuri could help him along
So he found her anon
And encountered the swan
And persuaded her briefly to be part of this song
And it worked!

When his cousin and friends
Came to question his ends
All five of them ready to fight
He became quite verbose
If not truly morose
Telling them of the wrong he would right

Well, I’ll tell you, Ensi
They all thought that it was suicide
But he wanted to free
One that’s grafted to me
And I won’t ever take that in stride, man!

[Sung]
You’ll be part of me
Forever, Ensi
With the others I’ve arrayed
You can’t escape the trap I’ve laid
By blood

Last page, last filk.

* LooNEY_DAC is sad

=126=
I was going to filk a bunch of sad songs here, but then I thought that it would be more appropriate to go back to where I began.

“What Goes Around…”
from “Ooh-De-Lally”
by Roger Miller

Lalli, Emil, Reynir
Sitting ‘round the table
Looking at the
Cards they’ve found to
Pass the time of day
Picking up and
Putting down but
No one seems to know the rules

Look at Lalli
Look at Lalli
Wond’ring what to play

Onni queried
Reynir on his
Strategy and found he
Played at random
Couldn’t fathom
The game

Then he went to
Lalli who he
Asked a couple questions
And got yes and no that told him
Just the same

Lalli, Emil, Reynir
On the next to last page
Emil tells them
That he’s won the
Game they’re trying to play
Then the comic
Ends with one of
Minna’s bird’s-eye pages and

Look at Lalli
One last Lalli
Nothing left to say

Look at Lalli
One last Lalli
Nothing left to say
