FILK: Basilisky

This is dedicated to (or rather blamed upon) Siriusly Snapey Susan, 
since she *will* keep encouraging me.  (Sorry that it's not a funny 
one.)

"Basilisky" (based on "Jabberwocky", by Lewis Carroll)

'Twas stygian and the rodent skulls
Did crunch and crimple 'neath his feet,
Vile witness to vast vermin culls,
And the snakeskin complete.

"Beware the Basilisk my son
Mesmeric stare and mortal fang, 
Beware The Diary and shun
The odious Slytherin gang."

He took his Holly wand in hand
Long time the mucid duct he crept,
And so came he to the grand entry
Unlatched by the adept.

And there the villain, poised, unmasked,
And basilisk with scratched-out eyes
Gave chase; the hat - our boy aghast
- A sword served of stout size.

The monster dead; by Phoenix healed,
He plucked the fang, ran't through and through
The Diary - razed the memory,
Thus saved the damsel too.

"And hast thou slain the Basilisk?"
"Delivered Ginny!" (Molly's squawks)
"Well done my son, you justly won."
He beamed, reclaiming Fawkes.

'Twas stygian and the rodent skulls
Did crunch and crimple 'neath his feet,
Vile witness to past vermin culls
And the snake's fate complete.





Apologies, I said I'd never do it again, I honestly thought
I'd only ever write one FILK.  Turns out it's addictive.
*Just say no*. Is there a support group I can join...?
