\nIn honor of this momentous event, here’s a reprise of the song Robert wrote for last year’s Southern California Kokon (to the tune of the Beatles’ “Ballad of John and Yoko”):<\/p>\n
\nHeadin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to the big KokonVENtion,
\nMusers from all over the place.
\nThe man with the pie
\nSaid*, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ask you why
\nYou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got Pantone 219** on your face.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nCake, you know it ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t easy.
\nYou know how wild it can be.
\nThe way things are goin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122
\nThey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re gonna bunnify me.<\/p>\n
No one looks the way I imagined.
\nEverybody\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s friendly but shy.
\nThey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re funny and nice
\nBut we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t break the ice
\nUntil someone calls out, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s have some pie!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nCake, \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all here together,
\nAll those kids I met on the threads.
\nThe man with the pie
\nSaid, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re throwing too high.
\nSee, the crust is going over their heads.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nCake, \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
Musers always make an impression.
\nPeople all pretend not to see.
\nThe folks in the crowd
\nSaid, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re laughing too loud,
\nAnd they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmostly harmless\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to me!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nCake, you know it ain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t easy.
\nYou know how wild it can be.
\nThe way things are goin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122
\nThey\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re gonna bunnify me.<\/p>\n
*[TMFA<\/strike>SudoRandom thinks “says” would make more sense here than “said.” We like the disorienting effect of the mismatched tenses, but if it bothers you, you have permission to sing the song whichever way you prefer.]
