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)
