Mean Jean

You can tell that SVC has been working on the layout and editing of Captain's Log #42 for too long when he writes something like this to tease me. This filk is to the tune of "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics. -- Jean

Mean Jean said to change these,
Who am I to disagree?
She said I missed a parentheses,
Jean is always naggin’ ‘bout somethin’.

Sometimes she wants a comma,
Sometimes she wants to take one out.
Sometimes she wants to cap this;
Sometimes she wants to de-cap that. . .

Mean Jean said to change this,
Who am I to disagree?
She said my work is hit or miss,
Jean is always naggin’ ‘bout somethin’.

Sometimes she wants a quote mark,
Sometimes she wants to take one out.
Sometimes she wants to bold this;
Sometimes she wants to de-bold that. . .

Mean Jean said to change that,
Who am I to disagree?
She said my work is falling flat,
Jean is always naggin’ ‘bout somethin’.

Sometimes she wants a hyphen,
Sometimes she wants it just one word.
Sometimes she wants italics;
Sometimes she wants just plain ol’ text. . .
