It’s the machine
That went on a long range run
but that’s not fun!Chris Bell gave it to Dia-na Win-G
and she passed it to Roj don’t you see
but a con committee knows when it needs it
It’ll take a trip, will this old -Badge Maker
Roj took it with him
When he went to France
Calais at last.Keris got it from Roj, not all ‘ere
Then Val-er-ie took it from here
Then, nextstep, it went to Paul Bristow,
He took it on ‘cos Mik-ki needs theBadge Maker
But the cost,
was more than she could pay
Parts gone astray!Miki rang round to find the lost bits,
and the whole thing was causing the fits,
When dear sweet Roj noticed a packet,
the missing bits turned up for this darnBadge Maker
He rang up and said that
it’s in the post!In the post
Snail mail post
IN THE POST!!!!!
Inspired by a conversation regarding the problems over the delivery of the badge machine for Decadence. 7/2/98

Music: The Time Warp - Richard O'BrienIt's amazing, Saturday Evening
Fire bell, starts to toll
We listen closely, asking where the fire is,
Troup out, through the hall.
I remember, hearing the fire bell
Searching for anxious friends
Saturday evenings, rainy conventions
Let's do the Fire Drill again
Let's do the Fire Drill again(Main chorus)
It's just a lit cigarette
Someone wasn't too bright
Under the smoke alarm
Was where they struck their light
But it's the chance it's real
that really makes this insane
They're so sorry, for causing this worry
This fuss and hurry, they didn't think
They were just joking, laughing and smoking
And having another drink
Once you've been through a fire drill
Eleventh floor and your friend's ill
Nothing can ever be the same
Stone steps and a guard rail
No help when you feel frail
Let's do the Fire Drill again
Let's do the Fire Drill again
(main chorus)
Well, I was sitting in the hall, just having a talk
When the fire bell rang. Please don't run, just walk
So we're checking each floor, to help our friends get clear
God knows what we'll do, if we can't find them here
So we're all outside, standing in the rain
False Alarm! We troop in again
Let's do the Fire Drill again
Let's do the Fire Drill again(Tap break - freestyle chat - chorus repeat in full twice - second chorus to end with fire bell or sound of fire engine)
Based on the actual events of Rec-Con (89) The August 1989 Trek Convention, Leeds.

My father is Rohan, my mother Sioned.
My birth mother Ianthe tho’ she is long dead
I watch for my enemies on light’s sturdy thread
Like the Vellant’im War Lord, who’s wanting my head.
I’m married to Meiglan, yet I love Sionell
Only a few know, but no-one will tell
I argue with Markeen and Andry as well
And the losses we’ve taken have put me in hell
I’m Sunrunner, Sorcerer, High Prince to all
My kin and my friends have all heeded my call
My Dragon, perhaps, I’ll use to enthrall
The Vellant’im warriors as on them we fall
My wife and my mother, my daughters as well
Have been captured by them, so Sionell did tell
They are planning to kill them and come for me too
And to fight for my family’s the least I can do.
The battle is over, the fight has been won,
But the loss of sweet Meiglan has left me undone
So now to rewards for my friends and my kin
And to peace we can settle, and once more, begin.
Based on the Character POL in the Dragon Star Trilogy by Melanie Rawn
Written and composed at Obliter8, Milton Keynes, 2-4 February 1996
n.b. Pronunciation: Sioned, is pronounced Sh-Ned, Sionell pronounced Sh-nell, Ianthe pronounced Yanth-ey

Music, loosely ‘Rumourmonger’ by Zander Nyrond
Come then Sunrunner, earn your First ring
conjure fire, light the wick
You must control the flame you summon
be it thin or thick
Come then Sunrunner, Summon Air then
Second ring, you must earn
Earth and water the Storm Gods makings
of your art to learn
Come then Sunrunner, make an image
in the fire or the pool
Third rings earning‘s your true goal here
so you know the rule
Come then Sunrunner, call your friend here
close at hand for you to call
Fourth rings giving is his answer '
hope he got it all
Come then Sunrunner call to distance
Stronghold, Radzyn, or Greypearl
Fifth ring makes you a full Sunrunner
show how far you hurl
These are the main rings of Sunrunning
earnt by you the final rite
For tonight you go to the circle
for man-making night
