Third place

A high school dropout I knew,

Really wanted to wear "Cougar Blue."

But to his chagrin

He couldn't get in.

He had not learned to spell B Y U.

—Roy Walker, West Jordan

Fourth place

In good old sunny "St. Garge,"

The town where the livin' is large,

The views are so grand,

There's lots of red sand,

And the fallout's at no extra charge.

—Janet Hatfield, Riverton

Fifth place

There once was a man named Hinckley

When he smiles his faces gets all crinckly.

He says, "Do your best,

Let God do the rest."

He's ninety-some odd and quite wrinkly.

—Kris and Van Reese, West Valley City

Honorable mention limericks

(in no particular order)

"This is the place!" said Old Brig

As he sat in the back of his rig.

"Drive on" and we'll see

What this valley can be

And we'll celebrate with a shindig!

—Renee Stevens, Salt Lake City

There's a hill in the canyon Sardine

Down which folks (in oblivion) careen.

They, too late, comprehend

That a cop's round the bend

Writing tickets for each misdemean.

—Jan Randall, Centerville

There once was a state in some strife

Over a slogan of "Elevated Life."

Our image, it's clear

Is what we hold dear.

So, I assure you I have just one wife!

—Den Nordfelt, West Valley City

You can hike here and bike there, dear fellow.

You can hear the good Mormon choir bellow,

And if you attend

A reunion, my friend

You can have carrot bits in your Jell-O.
