Newbies by the score Newbies on AFP I feel it in the air September's come early Angry group, metathreads An anno all alone I'm reading newbie posts But it seems no-one's at home But I can see you, your [I] threads shining in the sun We've got a filk or two, and some old farts on AFP I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After this long September has gone I never will forget Kate F Living in a soft pink dream Remember how she drove us crazy? Remember how she made us scream? She just wouldn't understand The workings of our group But she got clued, came back Now she's whipping out her boobs I can see you, your [I] threads shining in the sun An anti-Pterry post is giving us a lot of fun I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After this long September has gone Out on the group today I saw a deadhead newbie who forgot to tag A little voice inside my head said "Don't strike back, you should never strike back" Newbies are total thickies This we all know But this guy could just be clueless I should just let him go But I can see you, your [I] threads shining in the sun Hardly a spammer in sight, and some old farts on AFP I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After this long September has gone I can see you, your [I] threads shining in the sun You've got chocolate, and that old sarcasm on AFP I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After this long September has gone -- Do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I don't know that you've come to steal the secret plans to my new Interstellar Hydrocombustion Miracle Patented Microteflon Nuclear Gamma-Strato Rocketship Plane Missile, which was 20 years in the making? Well, I've never even heard of it - so you're barking up the wrong tree.
