TTTO "Hallelujah", the Rufus Wainwright version.

I think there is a basic tune
In ancient verse, in word and rune –
But you don't really care what I am thinking.
And whether that is right or wrong
I hear it within every song;
I think that it must be the soul of filking.

TTTO Great Big Sea's "When I'm Up I Can't Get Down":

I am the holder of the Godsblade,
I'm the instrument of war
For the battles you are waging – I am yours.

Tune: Original

She sits alone, she walks alone,
She'll never notice me and you.
At night, she'll wait for hours, still,
In grasses wet with dew.

Tune: Billy Joel's "Piano Man".

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday.
The crowd comes in steady and slow.
There's an old man sitting next to me,
Withered-muscles and eyes that still glow.

Got the idea from a friend, who told me about a dream in which he heard a filk that had a basic idea very similar to this one.
Tune: Original.

Recording

I left the Faery's wide domain
To roam the fields of mortal planes,
Near stumbled on the body of a fair man sleeping.
He opened up his eyes – so blue
My heart was cleanly split in two.
His skin was fairest white. I knew I'll soon be weeping.

Tune: Cynthia McQuilin's "The Mermaid's Lament"

Alone in my office, I'm watching my screen.
The cold, empty darkness awaits me outside,
And I write my frustration where it goes unseen,
For none reads the documents I stay to write.

Many offers I've had to go out on a date
But I've turned them all down and I stayed here late.

The following contains SERENITY SPOILERS!!!

So, you can probably guess it's a Firefly filk. Also, ose. I wanted to write something about Kaylee, and then it got warped.
Tune: Original.

I think life is an apple you hold in your hand.
Tell me, isn't is sweet? Tell me, isn't it grand?
But with one careless bite, you might just understand
How life can blow you to shreds.

Wrote the following during a course about a real-time OS called VxWorks (NASA wrote the Mars Lander with it!). One of my fellow students started singing "tShell, my belle", and I couldn't help but pick up the gauntlet.
Tune: Beatles' "Michelle, Ma Belle"

tShell, ma belle,
Turned my life into a living hell,
My tShell.

tShell, ma belle,
All the other tasks are stuck on PEND,
my tShell.

I need to, I need to, I need to,
I need to get this done.
Can't think of silly puns;
Until I do, my sanity will have to hold up.

tShell, oh well –
Nothing's working so I might as well
Kill tShell.

Reboot, you brute!
I know something rotten is afoot –
To the root!

I killed you, I killed you, I killed you,
And yet you wouldn't die.
I don't know how or why,
So I will press the only key to which you deign to respond
My tShell.
