Anthropomorphics (AKA Funny animal) fans don't exactly have a bad
press in Fandom, I've noticed - they have a TERRIBLE one. So here's
a lively little retalliatory strike, to the cheerful Cockney tune
of "My Old Man's A Dustman"..



			My, So You're a Fur Fan ?

				By Simon Barber

OK, so I'm a Fur Fan - is that so big a crime ?
But all the other sci-fi folk abuse us all the time
They say we should have dropped this thing when we were still in school
And all our publications, are perverted and cruel !

Now our heroes and heroines, bear fur and tails and snouts
Is that such a good reason to crowd our whole scene out ?
We have a hundred aspects, from the Cute to wholly Strange
We have Imagination, so you call us all deranged !

There's tales of pink-fluffed mousies in a happy woodland glade
And wolves in bloody sci-fi tales where major wars have strayed
Yes, also sexy vixens and their adventures "in heat"
But nothing stranger than the plots, that Super-Heroes meet !

Before they start their diatribe they should take one step back
It really is the case of pots calling the kettle black
When Captain Suspect poses through another wrestling scene
They either say it's innocent, or else they'll say it's keen !

There's only that "Slash/Fiction" that's hated worse than us
Like endless Kirk/Spock sex scenes, or "Bondage/Wesley.Crush."
And even THEY have famous names towards whose work you'd steer
For Freddy Kruger/Barney tales we'd all stand up and cheer !

So if you don't like Fur Fans, at least leave us alone
For what fun is permissible, is not graven in stone
While NASA cheers the sci-fi fans and brings their visions near
Now we've DNA splicing, we'll build our 'morphs next year !
