Inspirational Address

INSPIRATIONAL ADDRESS Winners never quit, quitters never win, they say. We must always go on because it’s the American way. We must go on now like famous guys before us So let’s step out and stop wasting time with all this fuss. This may seem philosophical, but it’s the kind of dog I am: Were gonna do it and we don’t give a damn. Did John Wayne quit in THE SEARCHERS? Do Antarctic penguins give up cos it’s too cold in their breeches? Did Columbus give up cos he found the Bronx instead of China? Did the Chattanooga choochoo diner stop serving ham and eggs in Carolina? This mansion is our Big Horn and the spooks are Indians in numbers ample (Oops sorry, forget it, that’s a bad example) Anyhow, you get what I mean I’m sure - So let’s get the lead out cos were in deep manure. ( Written for the WHY WE MUST GO ON contest)

The next time I feel like quitting, I want to remember the message in your poem, Syd. You gave some fine examples with the penguins, Columbus and John Wayne. There is a lot of truth in "winners never quit and quitters never win." Best wishes in the contest. Hope to see your poem at the top! Love, Carolyn
