OK, I've never ever laimed that I have the most reliable or normal of muses inspiring me. I'm still working on my project of taking folk tales and putting them in lyrical form, currently working on my version of The Selkie. Alas, that's going slowly indeed with a line here or there coming just frequently enough to make me decide it's not hopeless. But then in one of my frustrated moments at work while I was trying to work on it once again and failing, all of a sudden this other song started flowing out of me, a quasi-filk I call the Frog Prince's Ode. Now I call it a quasi-filk because I don't have it filked to an ENTIRE song, only the first part of one. Specifically The Closing of the Year which some people may remember from the movie Toys. Basically I use the first slow portion of it before it goes all hiphoppy.
