"This is the place." - Joseph Smith
(I'm not endorsing Mormonism, but I was blown away with our Utah visit last year and we'd randomly throw out that quote while we were there.)
This is the place of royalty's crown,
heaven's Grand Staircase spiraling down.
Hoodoo cathedrals beg your pardon,
meandering in the Queen's Palace garden.
This is the place of Angel's Landing,
overlooking paradise, ever expanding.
Fruit orchards flush, blushing rosy.
Deer relax upon a verdant mat, cozy.
Coral desert sand and trees evergreen
are experienced within the same scene.
A river runs through two hundred foot slate.
Around every bend, surprises await.

There was this little girl, Beth, who had a black cat,
Her spirit for Halloween is like a little bat,
Very excited and ready for the night,
The night of fright.
She wanted to be a witch,
But her dress really itched,
Her mom wanted her to be a beautiful princess,
But she put her through stress.
Beth and her friends wanted to go as a group,
But now she is eating chicken soup,
Not wanting to go trick or treating,
Since her friends were retreating.
Beth was really sad,
But wanted to go really bad,
She didn’t have anyone to go with,
Except maybe Joseph Smith.
She called him later that day,
And he showed up wanting to play,
Beth was delighted,
And Joseph was happy he got invited.
He dressed as Peter Pan,
And she dressed as a Muffin Woman,
So cute,
As they ate some fruit.
It’s dark outside,
And Halloween is worldwide,
Listening to cool beats,
And getting lots of sweets.
Coming home late,
But wanting to skate,
It was only eight
What a superb line-up for you tonight ladies and gentlemen

Brigham Young, the Mormon prophet
Pointed to the west; they crossed it
North, east, south, west sent colonies,
And has his name on universities.
Brigham Young, who led the Mormons after the assassination of their founding prophet Joseph Smith, led the Mormon Pioneers from "Winter Quarters" (a spot near what is now Omaha Nebraska) to what is now Salt lake City, Utah, then established colonies in most of the western states, south-western Canada, and northern Mexico. Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, is the largest religious, and one of the largest private, universities in the USA, and has branches in Hawaii and Idaho. There is a monument in Washington DC to B.Y. for him being the great colonizer. Most groups that went west did so seeking gold or land, but didn't worry about those who followed. When the Mormons crossed, they widened mountain gaps, made maps, planted seeds, set up river crossings etc to make it easier for later groups to follow.
mom says she can’t wait
till’ the election is over.
mom says she’s sick of
hearing them talk.
mom says they’re reading from
the same script, only using different
words.
mom says she’d rather they both
just walk.
mom says that dad is scared of
the man who believes in joseph smith,
having his finger on the button
telling us all that being poor is not his
problem.
mom says dad’s sick of hearing the
president talk of problems instead of
solving em’.
mom says it will get better, that it
won’t always be this insane.
mom says she’ll be dead sooner than
later,
so she doesn’t care
anyway.
The latter day saints
Their unwanted exodus
Had brought them many trials
Their biggest downfall
When Joseph Smith was martyred
It was a catastrophe
Despite their losses
Their legacy continues
The Church is their example
I am a Latter Day Saint myself.
We are also known as, "Mormons"
