Sign in the circle

TTTO of “Dance in the Circle” by Heather Alexander, though it’s really based on “Sing in the Circle” by Bob Kanefsky

I wrote it about Judie Miller, who does ASL interpretation of most of Consonance. It sounds weird, but it is a wonderful experience.

Here at the con there much more than just sound

You’ll find, if you sing here too long

There’s a person who’s moving and jumping around

And she’s making much better the song

If you see her, you’re in for a treat now

If she’s on the stage and she’s signing up there

If you do, then you won’t quite know how

She does it, though she does with flair

Chorus:

So please come, join, sign in the circle

The voices are not quite enough

Won’t you come, join, sign in the circle

We know that it has to be tough

She’s sign ASL and some improvizations

She’ll keep up with all the fast tunes

And just to match up all the creations

She makes up her own special runes

(Chorus)

If you’re like me, I know you will be

Amazed at this genius of course,

My eyes are glued! Look here dude! She is doing a “horse”!

Big blue seas! Rockets’ breeze ! And all of these things, that

can’t just have signs

I am in awe! There’s no flaw! She’s just right on the lines

La da da, da, da …

But she is so great! She will stand and sign straight

‘Till the con is quite nearing the end

And sadly I fear, I must wait a whole year

Before I can see her again

In the bidding you, you see, a video was sold

The bidding was too high for me

And so I’m afraid, when it’s all done and told

I’m afraid, I won’t have that DVD

(Chorus)
