With the consent of our wonderful hostess here finally is the
Bristol meet filk based on Grandma's feather bed as sung many
moons ago by John Denver 	

When I was an ancient fart, just up off the floor 			
We all went down to a Bristol house 			
in the middle of Rocky's Tour 			
We had lots of nuts, chocolate 			
French wine white and red 			
But the best darn thing about the Bristol house 			
Was the meet that the Bodo's led. 

*CHORUS:* 			
It was three days long, west country wide 			
With a prize, a PTeppic on view 			
It was made from committees of cons new and old, 			
Some geeks, and newbies too 			
With several kids and regulars 			
And a Gid that we stole from the shed. 			
Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 			
At the meet that the Bodo's led. 			
After breakfast we would stand around the fire 			
Meg's excellent barbecue 			
They would talk 'bout the books and the group 			
And the afpers filk a ballad or two. 			
I would stand and listen and watch the fire 			
Till the pianist filled my head 			
Next thing I know I wake up in the morning 			
At the meet that the Bodo's led 

*CHORUS* 

I loved my Ma, I loved my Pa, 			
I loved Granny and Grandpa, too 			
Been fishing with my cusin, 			
wrestled with my uncle 			
And I even kissed Aunt Lou-ooh! 			
If I ever had to make a choice, 			
I guess it ought to be said 			
I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down 			
the road For the meet that the Bodo's led 			
I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road 			
For the meet that the Bodo's led.
