Note: I hope D'thon doesn't mind me posting this; I've been meaning to for awhile, as it's probably my favorite filk written about Kassi (especially unsolicited!), but I've been unable to get ahold of him to make sure it's okay. D'thon, if you mind, give me a yell and I'll bring it down? In the meanwhile, I'm told this is sung to the tune of--and is probably based on--'Joanna' by Eddie Grant.
Kassima comes from a Hold called Ruatha Where Lord Eleos couldn't handle her; He had to call all the dragonriders in And they shipped her off to Benden Weyr. But at the Weyr she Impressed green Lysseth And that's where trouble began, you see - Before Lysseth's first flight she was so proddy She went on a killing spree! Chorus: You make me fear Kassima, make me Fear Kassima, make me fear Kassima for your sanity You make me fear Kassima, make me Fear Kassima, Fearing for your sanity. (N.B. Or lack thereof.) Kassima she gets a little psycho And it gets worse when she gets proddy, She'll gang up with all the other greenriders And freak everyone out permanently. Even Slithereth's own kith and kindred And the poor decapitated wherry: They all get turned into firelizard bait Or sashimi respectively! (CHORUS) Kassima sings quite a lot of strange songs - She should'a been at the Harper Hall, But she is here and her wild insanity May just infect us all! Salless she say she give up on dis one The Weyrleaders have resigned to fate: Even dey put her in de loony bin right now It already may be too late! Oh... Repeat (CHORUS) and fade... ---Written by D'thon
