we three can't agree

Hey guys!

Laura here!

So, I promised all ya'll that I'd post my YW rap. (Speaking of which, it went marvelously, as did my spontaneous talk :D)

Note: This is not a good rap... I'm not a poet, and I wrote it all in 40 minutes. I also didn't have a rhyme dictionary, so some of the rhymes are really stupid. I apologize.

Here you go:

There once was a girl

Whose name was Sherry;

Her life as a child

Was oh-so-merry.

She grew up in a

Family, LDS,

And in the gospel

She gave her best.

Eventually, though,

Sherry became

A young woman, and

Nothing was the same.

When this time began,

She started to make

A few iffy friends

And a few mistakes.

A little peer pressure

Can go a long way,

With the little thought,

"I'll repent someday."

She still went to church

But it seemed all wrong;

Her mind would wander--

Church was just so long!

Sherry didn't care

'Bout what the prophet saith;

Soon she decided

She just didn't have faith.

Instead of reading

The Book of Mormon,

She stayed out with her friends--

It was lame to be Mormon.

One wrong choice would

Lead to another,

She got bad grades

And ignored her mother.

Sherry's conscience cried,

But she wouldn't listen.

She didn't realize

The bessing she was missin'.

Sherry was set on

Having lots of fun;

No thoughts to Father

Or his Beloved Son.

The girls in the ward,

Sherry they were missin'.

They knew they must find

A way to make her listen.

Sherry heard a knock

On her door one day;

The Laurel prez was there,

She had some things to say.

"We haven't seen you

Around in a while.

We want you to come."

She said with a smile.

"Come with us today

And do Personal Progress.

It will be so fun.

Oh, Sherry, say yes!"

Personal Progress

Was such a chore.

She hated it

Because she was a whore(ible person)

(P.S. this stanza was cut out during our rap... I just find it humorous)

But Sherry scowled

And agreed to go,

But the whole way there

She wished she'd said no.

The other girls smiled,

Excited to see

That Sherry had come

As they'd hoped would be.

Personal Progress

Was not quite so bad.

With the young women,

A fun time she had.

So Sherry came home

And opened her book.

"I can do this," she thought.

The challenge she took.

She started with Faith,

Which is like a seed.

It started to plant

A small testimony.

Next, Divine Nature,

In His image made,

With divine womanhood

More precious than jade.

Individual Worth,

A talent for each,

The worth of souls great,

For His hand we reach.

After that's Knowledge,

Seek learning by faith,

Working hard in school

And in all the prophet saith.

Next comes Choices and

Accountability,

Choose today whom to serve

With nobility.

After that's Good Works,

Service above self,

The pure love Christ,

To any who need help.

Next, Integrity,

Knowledge of wrong and right,

Consistent actions,

Temptations despite.

Last of all is Virtue,

Degraded in the movies,

Find a woman who has it--

Her price far above rubies.

Sherry was finally done,

And what could this be?

She had finally found

Her testimony!

That's all, folks!
