		<description><![CDATA[Hi Ardis
Thanks for the heads up on this.
I wish they had taken a video.  I&#039;d love to see someone with a bit of musical talent singing it.  

This last year I have hardly been able to post new stuff on my blog due to the weight of family/ career / callings.  I hope to be back in the saddle soon though.  Lots to share, just not enough time to bite into it.
Keep up your good work.

		<description><![CDATA[So, I attended a delightful informal musical evening with accompaniment provided by someone who can play piano and guitar by ear and was taking requests. We sang everything from Cat Stevens and John Denver to Les Mis and the Beatles.

One person challenged another to sing I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General, and after the singers who accepted the challenge got hung up on the square of a hypotenuse, I remembered this version and someone pulled it up on a laptop and a quartet performed the first two verses. I wish I could have filmed it! It would have gone straight onto Youtube. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[And here&#039;s a third verse:


In fact, when I know what is meant by_&quot;a curelom&quot; and &quot;a cumom&quot;,
When I can cite offha-and Zenock, Ze-enos, and Ne-eum
When I follow_ev’ry rule in the mission’ry’s white bi-ible,
And when in Bible bashing I’m a Ja-ay-Dub’s best ri-ival,
When in this tropic we-eather my white shirt’s never di-irty,
When I never arrive at home befo-ore ni-ine-thi-irty—
In short, when I&#039;ve depleted all the mission’s stock of Bs of M—
They’ll say a better mission’ry has never got to baptize them.
For my religious knowledge, though I aced release-time semin’ry,
I still don’t know why Cath’lics always kneel and pray the Rosary;
But still, in matters spiritual, redeeming, and perfunction’ry,
I am the very model of a modern Mormon mission’ry.]]></description>
