DOOWAH AND HORATIAN SATIRE


The Doo-wah Application to My Blog is for Pure Fun and Fantasy. I Like to Think it is as Therapeutic for Release of Tension and Anxiety. I have posted what I believe to be Interesting and Amusing and added the elements of Game Interaction as well.

My Intent with Gentle Satire Here, is Tongue-in-Cheek for the purpose of Amusement, and to Allow the Viewer Questioning Contemplation and Thoughtful Peruse.

I Believe it is along the line of Horatian Satire. Horatian Satire is Named after the Roman satirist, Horace; this type of satire playfully criticizes some social vice through gentle, mild, and light-hearted humour. "It directs wit, exaggeration, and self-deprecating humour toward what it identifies as folly, rather than evil. Horatian satire's sympathetic tone is common in modern society...." (as Defined by the Wikipedia)

"Doo Wah Diddy Diddy"

It is Appropriate I think, to post the Song here: "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" - as anything with Doowah is Open Game, and of course, for Old Times Sake.

From The Minds of Sixth Graders

Are We Worried About Our School System – Of Course not! 


Insight into the minds of 6th graders:  The following were answers provided by 6th graders during history tests.  Watch the spelling!  Some of the best humor is in the misspelling. 

1. Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in hydraulics.  They lived in the Sarah Dessert.  The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.  


2. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients.  Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments.  He died before he ever reached Canada.


3. Solomon had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.


4. The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history.   The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth. 


5. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice.  They killed him.  Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.  After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.


6. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul.  The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king.  Dying, he gasped out: "Tee hee, Brutus."


7. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw


8. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen."  As a queen she was a success.  When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted "hurrah." 


9. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries.  Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible.  Another important invention was the circulation of blood.  Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. 


10. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper. 


11. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare.  He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday.  He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays.  He wrote tragedies, comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter.  Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couple.  Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.


12. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes.  He wrote Donkey Hote.  The next great author was John Milton.  Milton wrote paradise Lost.  Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.

13. Delegates from the original 13 states formed the Contented Congress.  Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence.  Franklin discovered electricity by rubbing two cats backward and declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand."  Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead.   


14. Abraham Lincoln became America’s greatest Precedent.  Lincoln’s mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands.  Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation.  On the night of April 14, 1865, Lincoln went to the theater and got shot in his seat by one of the actors in a moving picture show.  They believe the assinator was John Wilkes Booth, a supposingly insane actor.  This ruined Booth’s career.


15. Johann Bach wrote a great many musical compositions and had a large number of children.  In between he practiced on an old spinster which he kept up in his attic.  Bach died from 1750 to the present.  Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel.  Handel was half German, half Italian, and half  English.  He was very large. 

16. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music.  He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him.  Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this. 

17. The nineteenth century was a time of a great many thoughts and inventions.  People stopped reproducing by hand and started reproducing by machine.  The invention of the steamboat caused a network of rivers to spring up.  Cyrus McCormick invented the McCormick raper, which did the work of a hundred men.  Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbits.   Charles Darwin was a naturalist who wrote the Organ of the Species.  Madman Curie discovered the radio.  Karl Marx became one the Marx Brothers.

Earth Child/Celestial Woman

Twiddle Dum & Twiddle Dee
They Have Nothing on Me

One Foot on the Ground
And One in the Sky
I Can Move Quickly
In the Twinkling of an Eye

Backwards is Hard
But I Can Do It
Sideways is Easy
For As A Crab
I Will Get Through It

The Dolphin in Me
Finds the Water Appealing
Joyfully Playing
Sends My Spirit Reeling

Like a Mother to Earth
I Cradle Her in Love
She is My Grounding
As I am Lifted Above

The World is Turning
It Boggles My Mind
How So Many Are Lonely
Where There are So Many to Be Found

Alice in Your Looking Glass
Can You Mindfully See
How the World Is Turning
Inside of Me?

Excerpt from the Keynote Address of the "Counter Copenhagen" Mount Everest Summit of Mega World Business Corps

POLITICAL SATIRE
(The Keynote Speaker's identification has been withheld to protect the innocent 
and for purpose of confidentiality)

Dearly Beloved, Our Fellow Citizens of the World.  We are gathered today to speak as Experts of that which we know very little about;  planet earth.  Some have accused us of wrong doing.  They (far left wing conspiracy group) say we have contributed to global warming in our business activities.  They say we have largely contributed to contamination and devastation of the wilderness, deforestation, and rape of virgin territories.

To this we say, Hogwash!  There are no virgin territories. And as for the land; just  how can we destroy that which is non-living?  I mean to say, is this planet earth not mainly comprised of rocks, dirt, water & other similar stuff?  People, It is NOT ALIVE!  We are just going about our daily business of doing what we do best, and taking that which is rightfully ours.  Isn't making a profit from others what all businesses do?  We can't help it if we are bigger, better and require more energy to stay on the top.  The little people and the scientists are just spreading HOGWASH!

Now this being said, don't get us wrong.  It is not that we don't care.  We have children too, much like yours, except they are better looking and have everything they need financially, such as good schools, sex and education.... But otherwise they are exactly like your kids... We want what is best for them too.

Believe Us.  There is NO GLOBAL WARMING.  Is there not still snow in Alaska?  Some ice may be melting, but that is what ice does, and it will freeze again.  These people are JEALOUS and IGNORANT.  These so-called scientists are DREAMERS; dreaming up artificial "cry wolf" notions to the public from their trumped up computers. But we, the Corporate Arms of the World, have to work hard to get where we are.  If we need to use up most of the earth's resources to stay in business, well, it is a risk we are willing to take.  We must all make sacrifices.

If we need certain land to do our work, well then some of the wild things just have to go. It is not like the wild animals are our pets, you know.  They are in the way of PROGRESS.  It's sad, but that is just the way it is.

People are talking about everything up and dying. Well if this true, there would be more dead carcasses lying around.  Just look around you.  Do you see anything dying more than usual?  NO!  Its just a RUSE to get your juices running... to get you all riled up to go against the flow!  the scientists lie and they cheat.  They  "tweek" figures in their earth climate calculations, but we know what we are doing!  They may need to manipulate figures to get them to turn out right just for the record, but we have the proper tools in place to make things do what we need them to do.  If we say we are doing our best to be environmentally conscious, it is the so-called TRUTH.  They are the LIARS!

We are not Heartless Mega Corporations as they would like you to believe.  We give to Charities.   Hell, all the time, so it is not like we are shirking our Civic and Worldly Responsibilities.  You People should be thankful!  If it wasn't for us, people would not be where they are today! So we just need to forget all this frivolous worry and get back to our important business of doing that which we do best.  For us it is making a fistful of Money.  I'm not sure what you are doing, but just keep on doing it.  It has been working just right for all of us.

Enough said,  Gotta get back to making money to keep the world running.  The "Green People", and Scientists are just TRYING TO SCARE YOU to put us out of business.  Don't believe them!  If we were out of business, then just where would You People be?....

WHOA.... Wait a minute! What the Hell was that?  A SHE YETI?.... Which way did she go...  Where's My Rifle....

Are we still on the Air ... (Someone Turn that thing Off)....
