open to suggestions, but a fix occurred to me as I was thinking that
your filk is about the prophecy itself, rather than about Sybill
Trelawney.  (Note: pedantic comment to follow.  Be prepared.  The act
of predicting the future is to "prophesy" with an "s", pronounced
PROF-a-SIGH.  The inormation that someone prophesies is a "prophecy",
with a "c", pronounced PROF-a-SEE.)

So instead of:

write:
P-R-O-P-H-E-Cy
By the hand of Trelawney
P-R-O-P-H-E-CY
That's her specialty.

And you have now a natural title parodying the original song:
"P-R-O-P-H-E-CY"

I find it incredible, but wonderful, that four lovely filks about the
same point in the HP saga have been written independently using such
different original music.
