FILK: "They Don't Cosplay..."

I could do an A-Kon report... but I haven't done the 2008 A-Kon report yet. It'll be a two-fer, tomorrow I suppose, when I do it.
For now, a filk.

For now, a filk.
Go to conventions, walk through the crowds
Costumed fans all over just standing around
But I'm just an old fart, I'd probably get sore
'Cause they don't cosplay Xena no more
She and ol' Gabi, oh what a pair
Beatin' up baddies with a feminine flair
All the fans watched and they shouted for more
But they don't cosplay Xena no more
When that show first came on, my it was fine
Nothin' else on TV 'cept Deep Space Nine
But it ain't been the same since she went off the air,
'Cause they don't cosplay Xena nowhere
They still dress like Ghostbusters, and some Doctor Whos
You'll even see a B5 costume or twos
And at anime cons you'll see catgirls galore
But they don't cosplay Xena no more
The masquerade ladies, oh how they'd flirt
With their razor-edged Frisbees and hot leather skirts
Posing for pictures by the dealer's room door
But they don't cosplay Xena no more
No more, no no more
I'd settle for Joxer, 'cept he was a bore
And they don't cosplay Xena no more
No they don't cosplay Xena no more
Box set DVDs, well I might go and see
But they don't cosplay Xena no more
