Filk picture books

[bobmage]

Tricia and I are considering making picture books based on filk songs
for our son. This raises the issue of what graphics should go with
various verses. Does anyone have any suggestions for graphics for the
following?
Psi Naught
There's a hole in the middle of it all
A Habittrail Named Klein

Some of it is humorous - think Tom Lehrer, Weird Al, or Ray Stevens. Some of it is very serious, some is just bizarre.

There were several filk songs featured in the book "Fallen Angels".

Here are some filkish songs performed by Vixy and Tony, a local performing duo:

* Technically not filk, because the original artist says he's not a filker.

"Psi Naught" and "Hole" both lend themselves to a sequence like the ones in the "Powers of Ten" videos, at least in part. For "Hole" you'd have to find suitable images for "government funding", etc., but I don't think they'd be all that hard to find.
