Filk: "Erasmus, Son of Xena"

Filk: Erasmus, Son of Xena
to the tune of "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves")

Born on Argo's back in the middle of Chin
Nobody was sure just who fathered him
Gabby and Uncle Joxer proved to be mighty swell
Gabby was the Midwife, Joxer passed out
Which was just as well.

Erasmus, son of Xena
Another case of Immaculate Conception
Erasmus, son of Xena
And every night, they'd ponder his Destiny
A confusing Mystery

Whoever the Father was it was a puzzling quiz
When Ares denied it Xena got into quite a tizz
The Fates knew Erasmus was a Demigod
an embodiment of good
But how did he get into Xena's bod?

Erasmus, son of Xena
Another case of Immaculate Conception
Erasmus, son of Xena
And every night, they'd ponder his Destiny
A confusing Mystery

Xena tried to teach him what knowledge she had
from the rocky rough life she'd led
Many years down the road, he'd be better than Eli
But for now he's just a child
But for now he's just a child

Erasmus, son of Xena
Another case of Immaculate Conception
Erasmus, son of Xena
And every night, they'd ponder his Destiny
A confusing Mystery

He was born on the back of a Warrior's horse
His mother fought amd watched over him of course
Gabby taught him to read with her scroll and quills
Joxer gave him tips on fighting skills

Erasmus, son of Xena
Another case of Immaculate Conception
Erasmus, son of Xena
And every night, they'd ponder his Destiny
A confusing Mystery
