Folly's Medley

Inspired by Erasmus' The Praise of Folly:


Fiddle-ee-dee, Fiddle-ee-dough
What are all these long faces fo'?
No no no, this won't do!
Not in the least...
Why over-analyze
criticize
customize
When you can inspire
desire
aspire
Here's to you, fire-fly chasers
Carry on, starry-eyed dreamers
Fee-figh-fo-fum
Listen to the beating drum
and watch the nodding servants pray
while the holy fathers play
Foolosophers you try and hide
But within you I abide
Fun
Frolic
Free
Frisky
I am friends with Mirth and Whisky.
In Latin call me STULTITIA
Greeks know me as MORIA
Fiddle-ee-dough, Fiddle-ee-dee

Folly - that's me!
