Freebsd Fortunes 5

Oh, I could while away the hours,
Smoking herbs and flowers,
Shooting up my veins,
        De-dum, De-dum, De-dum
Tell you, I've been a-thinkin'
I could drive a shiny Lincoln,
If I dealt in good cocaine.
                -- To If I Only Had A Brain from "The Wizard of Oz"

Oh, I don't blame Congress.  If I had $600 billion at my disposal, I'd
be irresponsible, too.
                -- Lichty & Wagner

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of --
Wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up along delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle flew;
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
                -- John Gillespie Magee Jr., "High Flight"

Oh I'm just a typical American boy
From a typical American town.
I believe in God and Senator Dodd
And keeping old Castro down.
And when it came my time to serve
I knew "Better Dead Than Red",
But when I got to my old draft board,
Buddy, this is what I said:

Chorus:
        Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I've got a ruptured spleen,
        And I always carry a purse!
        I've got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat,
        And my asthma's getting worse!
        Yes, think of my career and my sweetheart dear,
        And my poor old invalid aunt!
        Besides I ain't no fool, I'm a-going to school
        And I'm a-working in a defense plant!
                -- Phil Ochs, "Draft Dodger Rag"

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a 4BSD?
My friends all got sources, so why can't I see?
Come all you moby hackers, come sing it out with me:
To hell with the lawyers from AT&T!

Oh, love is real enough, you will find it some day, but it has one
arch-enemy -- and that is life.
                -- Jean Anouilh, "Ardele"

Oh, my friend, it is not what they take away from you that counts --
it's what you do with what you have left.
                -- Hubert H. Humphrey

Oh, so there you are!

Oh, the Slithery Dee, he crawled out of the sea.
He may catch all the others, but he won't catch me.
No, he won't catch me, stupid ol' Slithery Dee.
He may catch all the others, but AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
                -- The Smothers Brothers

Oh this age!  How tasteless and ill-bred it is.
                -- Gaius Valerius Catullus
