Apologies for the necromancy, but here's something that's been rattling around in my brain since Gryphon posted this. It's the song that, in my head, The Other is breaking into during the climactic battle of Thicker Than Water. With further apologies to Tom Lehrer:-

---

Full moon's here,
A-the full moon is here,
Life is skittles and life is beer
I think we're blessed to have twelve times a year
A full moon, I do! Don't you? Course you do.

But there's one thing that makes this complete for me
And makes every full moon a treat for me!

Aaaall the
World sings in tune
'Neath the light of the moon
As I'm gunning down Gryphons in the park!
When it shines thus you'll see
Ma trop chere famille
As I'm gunning down Gryphons in the park!

When he sees me coming, big brother might try and hide,
But he ought to be grateful it's this and not cyanide,
Oh, the stars shine so bright,
Everything seems alright,
As I'm gunning down Gryphons in the park!

I've gained notoriety
And caused much anxiety
In what vampire society
Still remains
Sis calls for propriety
And counsels sobriety,
Else might mourn a variety
Of five-oh-first dames,

But for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and tiffin,
I'll drain all the blood from a Gryphon!

Soooo, if,
Now you are free
Join the Child and me
When we're gunning down Gryphons in the park,
And maybe we'll do for that damned moustique too
After gunning down Gryphons in the park

I'll murder you all for my mirth and my merriment,
And if you two won't die, then it's time to experiment!

Oh the charms I'll extol
Of each cauterised hole
I'll blast in a Gryphon -
I'll make him a stiff'un -
I'm gunning down Gryphons in the paaaark!

FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards.

yes i know it's an anachronism it's also a joke.
