The water you won't want to drink.

And it might be a bit hard to sink.

But, when visiting the lake,

Noseplugs you should take,

If you don't want to smell the Big Stink!

—Marcie Nordfelt, West Valley City

Two young children, cute as could be,

Entertained the whole world with glee;

Since they were small tykes,

No one's seen quite the likes,

Of Utah's Donny and Marie.

—Carolyn Joyner Freebairn, Salt Lake City

There's mountain and desert and forest

That bring in the ones we call "tourist."

We like when they bend

As they spend to the end

And the ones we like most go home poorest.

—Craig Douglass, South Jordan

Our state was once named "Deseret"

That made D.C. bigwigs upset.

So they changed it to "Utah"

And they gave us the Ha Ha

But now we have no regret.

—James Updegraff, Salt Lake City

There was some salt mixed with some water

With plenty of gulls, but no otters

In a low spot it puddled

Where no one would huddle

'cepting Nauvoo's fair sons and fair daughters.

—Murray Westenskow, Milwaukie, Ore.

There once was a mayor named Rocky

Who was more than a wee bit talky.

He had causes galore,

But was never a bore,

Though some thought him a bit too cocky.

—Curt Bench, Salt Lake City

We know that it had to be fate

That Utah would end up our state.

The seagulls ate crickets

So the Jazz could sell tickets

And green Jell-O is served on our plate.

—Jeannie Flynn, West Valley City

The '02 Olympics were grand,

On elevated ground we do stand.

The world knows we're here,

A place to revere.

Give a cheer and strike up the band.

—Annie Eastmond, Salt Lake City

We eat our lime Jell-O for dinner;
