- The Temperature of Roast Filk
- by Harry Smothers, c. 1992
- (Tune and apologies to: Temper of Revenge by Julia Ecklar)
- (Inspired by too much coffee,
- and Temperature of Revenge by Tom Smith
- Tom Smith himself, and life, the Universe, etc.)

- He's filked too many tunes in the last few months
- And gotten away with a score
- But this time, he's pushed things a lot too far --
- If we don't stop him now, he'll write more!
- So I've found me a recipe, one that fits,
- That roasts "long pig" to a "T".
- Some veggies, some bread stuffing under the pits --
- Where most filk ideas come from, you see!
-
- So give me a tune; this one will do.
- Give me a roaster enameled in blue.
- It will go in the oven, 400 degrees
- I'm not Alferd Packer, but think what you please.
-
- Hand me the book by Julia ... Child;
- It may smell like roast, but for Tom Smith, it's mild.
- In the fridge, find the fungus -- you'll like this a lot --
- For Tom Smith is best served hot, Tom Smith is best served hot.
-
- We slice all the veggies into the pot,
- Place halved potatoes therein,
- Set the timer for, oh, seven hours or so,
- And observe Julia's widening grin!
- Oh, how many filks could a woodfilker filk
- Before his abode would get bombed?
- If Kanefsky could sing, play guitar, put on weight,
- Move to Michigan, he would be Tom!
-
- So give me a tune; this one will do.
- Give me a roaster enameled in blue.
- It will go in the oven, 400 degrees.
- I'm not Alferd Packer, but think what you please.
