With apologies to Stephen Foster M.D., here's to Mountain Dew Live Wire, a parody

*With apologies to “Camptown Races” by Stephen Foster M.D.,
here’s a guzzle-drinking parody for Mountain Dew,
all flavors, especially Live Wire:

Drinktown Cases

By Stephen Foster, M.D.;-)

O the Mountain men sing this song,
Dew-da, Dew-da

The Drinktown caseback’s 5 miles long,
Oh Dew-da day

Goin’ to drink all right
Goin’ drink all day
I bet my money on a Live-Wired Dew
Somebody bet on hooray.

I went down tired with my hat caved in,
Dew-da, Dew-da
I come back Wired with a jacket-stuffed win
Oh Dew-da day

Goin' drink all right,
Goin' drink all day

I bet my money on a Live-Wired Dew
Somebody bet on hooray.

In the Light-hearted,

Daniel Wilcox

Words of Truth

TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.

What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives…If we remember those times and places…where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
--Howard Zinn

I refuse to accept despair as the final response to the ambiguities of history. I refuse to accept the idea that the "isness" of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the eternal "oughtness" that forever confronts him.
--Martin Luther King Jr.

True religion consisted in an inward life, wherein the heart does love and reverence God the Creator, and learns to exercise true justice and goodness...I found no narrowness respecting sects and opinions, but believed that sincere, upright-hearted people, in every society, who truly love God, were accepted of him.
--John Woolman

Love each other as I have loved you.. I call you friends because I have made known to you everything I heard from my Father.
--Jesus in John 15: 12-15

...Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself.

You have answered right, said Jesus, do this and life is yours...

Who is my neighbor?

Jesus replied with the Parable of the Good Samaritan [heretic, outsider, enemy].
--from Luke 10:27-37

Religion has been emphatically embodied, not in speculative theories, but in practical righteousness, in active virtues, in reverence to God, in benevolence to man- the latter being the only sure test of the former.
--Thomas M'Clintock

...It is safer to approach God through the Holy Spirit than through the door of theology. We can identify the Holy Spirit whenever it makes its presence felt. Whenever we see someone who is loving, compassionate, mindful, caring, and understanding, we know that the Holy Spirit is there.
--Thich Nhat Hanh

Faith...manifests itself in all righteousness and works of love; it clothes the naked; feeds the hungry; consoles the afflicted; shelters the miserable; aids and consoles all the oppressed; returns good for evil; serves those that injure it; prays for those that persecute it.
--Menno Simons
