JUNK at HOME
(tune “Love At Home”)
There are knick-knacks all around when there’s
Junk at home.  Many things that can’t be found
When there’s junk at home.  Drawers and closets
will not close, there are runs in all my hose.
Certain items decompose, in the junk at home

Junk at home, junk at home
Many items decompose
In the junk at home.

In the cottage there’s no room, cause there’s
Junk at home.  Living space is all consumed,
With the junk at home.  In the garage the car
Won’t go, `cause of all the overflow.  Oh it’s
Hard for me to throw away the junk at home.

Junk at home, junk at home
Oh it’s hard for me to throw
Away the junk at home

Kindly will the family be, when no junk’s at
Home.  When the floor they’ll finally see,
Cause no junks at home.  From the neighbors
You won’t hide, you will welcome them inside.
And you’ll finally say with pride…there’s
No junk at home

De-junked home, de-junked home.
You can finally say with pride
THERE’S NO JUNK AT HOME

I wish I knew who to give credit to for these words but I have no
idea who wrote them.

Our Enrichment this month was Titled “The Seuss, The Whole Seuss, And Nothing But The Seuss”  We dressed up in Cat-in-the-hat hats to hand out invitations.

Our mini classes were:

“Oh the places you’ll go”  ( speaker on something motivational/uplifting/positive attitudes etc )

“If I ran the circus” ( ideas of things to do with kids/ make a busy book )

“One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish” ( have someone talk/demonstrate easy fish recipes )

We had PopSeussles (red/white/blue popsicles) for refreshments.  We did the play of the Cat in the Hat Book of Mormon to advertise it.  It really turned out quite fun.

The Book of Mormon by Dr. Seuss

What if certain books had been written by a different author,

Like Shakespeare, or Milton, or Dickens or Chaucer.

And then giving this ponder a little more juice,

What if the Book of Mormon had been written by Dr. Seuss?

Nephi: Of goodly parents I was born

I’ve never drunk, I’ve never sworn

This is Lehi, he’s my dad

Laman, Lemuel, they are bad

And who is this? Why this is Sam.

Sam: Yes this is Sam; Sam I am

Laman: That Sam I am, that Sam I am

I do not like that Sam I am

Sam: In a tent, my father dwelt

Laman: And it’s so hot, I think I’ll melt

Lemuel: Our father’s brain is out of whack

Laman: Yeah, it’s too hot, I’m going back

Lehi: Then go and get the plates, my dear

Laman: On second thought, I’m staying here

Nephi: You said you’d leave and go away

Now all you want to do is stay?

Lemuel: That Nephi always gets his way

Laman: Here we are in this damp cave

Sam: We would not be here if you’d behave

Nephi: I will go and I will do

There’s the angel, that’s my cue

Laban’s had too much to drink

Now he’ll lose his head, I think

Nephi: Look what I found,

A brother from the quorum

Sam: We will take him home,

We will call him Zoram.

Laman: Our gold and silver we have spent

I do not like it in this tent

Lemuel: I cannot read the Liahona

I must have drunk too much Corona

Laman: We hate it here, we have no lives

Lehi: Then go back to the city and get some wives

Lehi: A tree, a tree, I see a tree!!

The fruit is white, the fruit is free!

A floating building, could it be?

Why do they laugh and stare at me?

Laman, Lemuel, come and see!

Laman: We will not eat your precious fruit

Lemuel: We will not wear a tie and suit

Laman: We will not help you build your boat

Lemuel: We do not think that it will float

Laman: No not this boat, it will not float

Not even in a shallow moat

I do not care what Nephi wrote

Lemuel: We will not eat your fruit I say

Laman: We will not eat it on a tray

Lemuel: And we won’t eat it in a tent

Not even if your clothes you rent

Laman: We’d rather have a can of Spam

L&L: We will not eat it, Sam I am

Sam: You do not like it, so you say

Try it, try it and you may

Try it and you may I say

Laman: Sam, if you will let us be,

We will try it, you will see

L & L: Say, we like this fruit of life

Sorry that we caused such strife

You’ve saved us from an awful jam

Thank you, thank you, Sam I am!
