Sigh.  First Haggridd, then CMC, then Haggridd again, then Gail.  You 
guys are corrupting me, you know.

So to y'all I dedicate, "Nanny" a filk on "Mandy" by Barry Nannylow, 
er, Manilow.

Albus sings offstage as narrator.
Aberforth sings the chorus.

Albus:
Aberforth, for all his life,
Never had a gal or wife.
Most peculiar man,
With Capricorn intrests.
I guess it could be worse-
He avoids incests.

Daily Prophet, yesterday-
Found out about Abbie's play.
Printed in the news,
Near the sports section.
A censored photogragh 
Of his sweet affection.

Aberforth:
Oh, Nanny,
You left and now my heart is breaking.
Yes, they took you away, 
Oh, Nanny,
Well, I charmed you and stopped you from shaking.
And I miss you today,
Oh, Nanny.

Albus:
Now Aberforth's the butt of jokes.
Subject to stares and laughs and pokes.
These he just ignores, with such great bravery.
Completely unaware of his depravery.*

On with head held high-
To this he pays no heed.
Either acting brave
Or he can not read.

Aberforth:
Oh, Nanny,
You left and now my heart is breaking.
Yes, they took you away, 
Oh, Nanny,
Well, I charmed you and stopped you from shaking.
And I miss you today, 
Oh, Nanny
(repeat and fade)


*I made up *depravery*.  Depravity didn't rhyme, and I 
thought, "well, if the act of being brave is bravery, then the act of 
being depraved ought well to be depravery.  Just like Buick ought to 
rhyme with quick."  Work with me on this one.  Please?
