The Book of Mormon and the TV Guide
A satirical poem about the Book of Mormon and the TV Guide, a poem with a not-too-subtle message
On the table, side-by-side,
The Book of Mormon and the TV Guide,
One is well-worn and cherished with pride,
Not the Book of Mormon, but the TV Guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide,
Nope, not the Book of Mormon, but the TV Guide.
As the pages are turned, what shall they see,
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the TV.
So they open the book, from which they confide,
Not the Book of Mormon, but the TV Guide.
The true word of God is very seldom read,
Maybe a verse here or there, before falling into bed.
Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be,
Not from reading the Book of Mormon, but from watching TV.
So back on the table, side by side,
The Book of Mormon and the TV Guide.
The plan of salvation is true and free,
But it is found in the Book of Mormon, not on TV.
