S-C-A now (filk of Wild Rover)

Taliesin Wordweaver

Well I used to like movies with pirates, or knights,
And period dramas held out such delights
I had money for comics, thought LARPers were fun,
I played Skyrim as soundtrack when errands I'd run

But I'm S-C-A now,
S-C-A evermore,
And I'm doomed to go camping
Each weekend, and more

With a Duke and a Laurel, I sat playing chess,
When I looked at my garb, I felt such a mess
For my sandals belonged in the fifth century,
but my tunic was spangled with fleur-de-lis

But I'm S-C-A now...

A Pelican wrapped me in woolens so thick,
as I roasted some spam that was stuck on a stick.
"I know that economy is each newbies desire,
But a acrylic and nylon don't mix with a fire!"

But I'm S-C-A now...

A friend had a wedding, I was delighted indeed
A carry-on suitcase held all I might need
But next week I promised to host the Yule Ball,
and a U-haul was needed to carry it all

But I'm S-C-A now...

I returned to the Comic-con, to recruit some more troops,
But I fear, O mine Chatelaine, I made quite the Oops.
I know it's not sexy, but breastplates are flat,
but perhaps I should not have been telling them that

But I'm S-C-A now...

Well the fabric-store told me, my coupons were nought,
and I owed them full price on the linen I'd bought
I tried to use credit, they told me it bounced,
So I sold off some plasma, my blouse must be flounced!
