LET us go then, you and I,
When the pamphlet is spread out against the tablecloth
Like a tract unfolded upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless investigators in one-room cheap hovels
And questionable restaurants with garbage pails:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of theological intent
To lead you to a baptismal covenant …
Let us get on with it,
Let us go and make our visit.
In the room, the elders come and go

Bravissimo!
Attendere. La poesia en italiano non è mia. Ho messo la poesia tra virgolette, perché appartiene ad Eliot."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

a una persona que nunca volviera al mundo,
esta llama staria sin mas choques.
Pero perciocche nunca de este fondo
no vuelvo vivo ningún, s’i’odo el verdadero,
sin tema d’infamia te respondo.

Originally posted by cowboy View PostI've written a few cowboy poems, but none of them are funny. I have a hired man who recites cowboy poetry all the time. If Elko wasn't such a crap hole in January, I'd take a trip out there for the cowboy gathering.

There once was a Mormon from Orem
Who was the teacher of the Elder's Quorum
He said with a grin as he wiped off his chin
As far as Boyd K. Packer goes - Ignore him!Just try it once. One beer or one cigarette or one porno movie won't hurt. - Dallin H. Oaks
