Subject: [I][FILK]  Afpers

This started out during one of the karaoke sessions at
Gid & Suzi's new year meet.  It was me who substituted
"afpers" into the last line of the verse, but it was only
when Supermouse followed up with "offer me confection"
that I knew this filk had to be written.  Thanks, 'Mouse!


  TTTO "Angels" by Robbie Williams


  I'm still awake
  I'm still logged in and the hour is late
  I'm feeling low
  There's 80 posts to go and my coffee's cold
  And they should be told
  That their friendship's worth their weight in gold
  So while there's wibble to be read
  And pedants to be fed
  I can't go to bed
  I'm loving afpers instead

  And through it all they offer me confection
  A lot of hugs and affection
  Even when they say I'm wrong
  There's really nothing more
  That they can do to freak me
  Perhaps sometimes they pique me
  But of one thing I'm sure
  They will out-geek me
  I'm loving afpers instead

  When I'm feeling beat
  As I come home from another meet
  I wish again
  All the good things didn't have to end
  And as I fall asleep
  The memories I keep
  Are clear in my head
  I'm hugging afpers instead

  And through it all they offer me confection
  A lot of hugs and affection
  Even when they say I'm wrong
  There's really nothing more
  That they can do to freak me
  Perhaps sometimes they pique me
  But of one thing I'm sure
  They will out-geek me
  I'm loving afpers instead
