Things That Take About Twenty Seconds

camwynAs spoken at a relatively normal pace, or sung at the tempo in the original recording. No imitating John Romita and saying you're done because you got through all the words.
1. "Space.... the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its (five year/continuing) mission: to explore strange, new worlds.
To seek out new life, and new civilizations.
To boldly go where no (man/one) has gone before!"
(hum first few notes of theme if you aren't sure you've hit the twenty second mark)
2. "I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
3. "Here we stand, and here we fall
History won't care at all
Lay the bed - light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight.
We don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell, but you answer the call..."1
4. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." 2
5. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
6. “Per me si va ne la città dolente,
per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore;
fecemi la divina podestate,
la somma sapïenza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'entrate.”3
Additions welcome!
1 I use this song to time isometric exercise sessions. I don't expect other people to know it off the tops of their heads.
2 Spoken only. I don't remember the Schoolhouse Rock version.
3 It's Dante. Why, what did you have to memorize in high school foreign language class?
