"Okaasama, Otousama" by Shunsuke Ichikawa (1997) C&C welcome at: shunsuke@mailcity.com www.fortunecity.com/victorian/university/5/index.htm www.fortunecity.com/victorian/university/5/a-fanfic.htm (Sung by Ranma Saotome of "Ranma 1/2", to the tune of "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" by Alan Sherman) Okaasama, Otousama, Here I am at Ryugenzawa, This whole forest is big and scary, All the creatures are 10 feet tall and hairy. The Water of Life comes from a spring, And it does some amazing things. It keeps Shinnosuke from dying quicker, And no food poisoning from eating Akane's dinner! From the village I bought some maps, They didn't mention monster traps, They didn't mention Shinnosuke, Or a tomboy who is kawaikunee. Now I hope you don't get touchy, But Akane's fighting the Orochi. You remember Ryouga Hibiki? We're about to organize a searching party. Take me home, Chichi to Haha, Take me home, I hate Ryugenzawa, Now I'm saving Akane, or she Might get eaten by the Orochi Take me home, no more iinazukees, I won't call her 'kawaiikunee', I can't let Akane stay, She might fall in love with Shinnosuke. Okaasama, oyaji, How are Kasumi and Nabiki? Let me come home, if you miss me, I would even let Kodachi hug and kiss me. Wait a minute, Shinnosuke's not ailing, Akane's smiling, no mallets flailing, We're holding hands, walking together, Chichi to Haha, kindly disregard this letter!
