Men In Cloaks
Dedicated to CMC
A filk by Pippin, to the tune of "Men in Tights" by Mel Brooks
The time: early November, 1981, shortly after the fall of 
Voldemort
The scene: somewhere near Vernon Dursley's workplace

VERNON:
They're men, they're men in cloaks
They're standing on the corner looking like jokes
They're  men, they're men in cloaks
These conferrees a sense of unease evoke
Did I hear "Potter"? My poor Petunia's going to have a stroke
Those men, those men in cloaks
How dare they be  disturbing us normal blokes

THE WIZARDS:
We're men, (and witches too!) we're men in cloaks
Though usually we're harder to see than mokes*
We're men (magical men!) we're men in cloaks
This news that we hear our terror and fear revokes
We are rejoicing, this happy, happy day our joy provokes
We're men, we're men in cloaks
We're off our guard embracing those Muggle folks!
A toast!

*According to Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, the 
moke is a silver green lizard with the power to shrink itself out of 
sight.
