We never eat cookies because they have yeast,
And one little bite turns a man to a beast.
Oh, can you imagine a sadder disgrace
Than a man in the gutter with crumbs on his face?
      Away, away with rum, by gum (etc)

We never eat fruitcake because it has rum,
And one little bite puts a man on the bum.
Oh, can you imagine a sorrier sight
Than a man eating fruitcake until he gets tight?
      Away, away (etc)

Oh, man--those were the good ol' days.                  Tw

Happy Birthday!

The heroic founder of the World Woman's Christian Temperance Union, (WCTU) in 1883

Frances Willard

born 9/28/1839
(d1898)

          We're coming, we're coming, our brave little band
          On the right side of temperance we do take our stand
          We don't use tobacco, because we do think
          The people who use it are likely to drink
  
                  Away, away with rum by gum, with rum by gum, with rum by gum
                  Away, away with rum by gum, the song of the temperance union
