Although I don't necessarily trust my or Deirdre's sense of humour, I
most certainly trust yours, and therefore am curious whether you think
this is funny enough to merit posting to SMOFS.

Disclaimer:  If you enjoy this, great.  If not, I for one blame society.



When Der SMOFer says, "Ve run the Con-ish place",
We HEIL! HEIL!  Right in der SMOFer's face.
Not to live for fandom is a great disgrace
So we HEIL!  HEIL!  Right in Der SMOFer's face.

When Herr Yalow says, "That motion has no place"
We HEIL! HEIL!  Right in Herr Yalow's face.
When Herr Yalow says "Der next Westercon's in space!"
We HEIL! HEIL!  Right in Herr Yalow's face.

Are we not der Super-fen?  
SuperDuperSuper-fen?
Ja we ist der Super-fen
Super-duper Super-fen.
Ist this hotel contract good?
Would you bid it if you could?
Ja this hotel contract's good.
Vee would bid if no-zone stood.

We bring the con to order.
Heil Newly Revised Roberts Order.
Everyone of other lands will join us being fans,
When we call all their cons to order.

When Der SMOFer says, "Ve run the Con-ish place",
We HEIL! HEIL!  Right in der SMOFer's face.
Not to live for fandom is a great disgrace
So we HEIL!  HEIL!  Right in Der SMOFer's face.
