The primary talent show is tonight, and unfortunately my wife has roped me into participating. We've had a difficult time deciding what we should do for our talent; the Mrs. wants to sing a song, while I want to do the Mormon rap. Here's the thing, I can't sing, and I think it's completely embarrassing when people who can't sing think it's a good idea to sing at church. So, I told her we're better of doing the Mormon rap because everybody will know we're joking and won't think we're making a serious attempt at singing. Of course, I can't get her to budge on doing the Mormon rap, at all.
I think we've come up with a solution. We're going to sing three verses of Follow the Prophet, with two being original verses. That song is pretty easy to sing (it requires a range of about two notes), and it's short and painless. We'll sing one of the regular verses, and then two of our own with some amount of church appropriate humor. We wanted to make up our own verses for Hinckley and Monson. Here's the Hinckley verse we can up with last night:
Hinckley was a prophet in the latter days
he encouraged his people to follow in his ways
he built many temples, the members shouted in glee
the pulpit at conference is made from his tree
chorus..
We're having a little bit more trouble with Monson. I had a good one about Monson showing up in the Utah Jazz huddle, but my wife claimed it was more about the Jazz than Monson.
Anyway, we want it to be somewhat funny so that people don't take us completely serious. Please feel free to contribute a verse or throw out some ideas!
