First entry for Writer's Cramp: A Sci-Fi Convention. (Composed on the spot with haste.) |

The prophecy’s true!” I was hoisted on back Of a monster in blue They decked me in silver And shiny chrome pants I was passed through the crowd And engulfed in their chants I was found the next day Alert and alive Singing the love songs of Babylon 5 But now I can say A quiet week later I’d prefer real aliens I think they’d be saner |
