It’s National Donut Day and on this day one song comes to mind, The Donut Song by Burl Ives. Despite it’s age, this song has a wonderful message about life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

When you walk the streets you’ll have no cares<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you walk the lines and not the squares<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you go through life make this your goal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the donut, not the hole.
<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Meaning appreciate what you have (the donut), shed your desires, worries and wants (the hole). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can listen to this song on the Recorded Sound Archives website: https:\/\/rsa.fau.edu\/track\/113310<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

& let us know in the comments what your favorite type of donut? We’re pretty partial to Boston Cream donuts here in the sound archive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
