First in Church History?

So, last Sunday I was asked if I would be willing to give a talk in church today. I was kind of nervous but thought it would be cool to quote one of the best authors of all time, Dr Suess. Charity will appreciate this.

Ode to the Zode

Did I ever tell you about the young Zode,
Who came to two signs at the fork in the road?
One said to Place One, and the other, Place Two.
So the Zode had to make up his mind what to do.
Well... the Zode scratched his head, and his chin and his pants
And he said to himself, "I'll be taking a chance
If I go to Place One. Now, that place may be hot!
And so, how do I know if I'll like it or not?
On the other hand though, I'll be sort of a fool
If I go to Place Two and find it too cool.
In that case I may catch a chill and turn blue!
So, maybe Place One is the best, not Place Two,
But then again, what if Place One is too high?
I may catch a terrible earache and die!
So Place Two may be best! On the other hand though...
What might happen to me if Place Two is too low?
I might get some very strange pain in my toe!
So Place One may be best," and he started to go.
Then he stopped, and he said, "On the other hand though...
On the other hand... other hand... other hand though..."
And for 36 hours and a half that poor Zode
made starts and made stops at the fork in the road.
Saying, "Don't take a chance. No! You may not be right,"
Then he got an idea that was wonderfully bright!
"Play safe!" cried the Zode. "I'll play safe. I'm no dunce!
I'll simply start out for both places at once!"
And that's how the Zode who would not take a chance
Got no place at all with a split in his pants.

So being as my talk was over Personal Revelation I had to make this tie in. So, I talked about how the Zode relied on himself instead of relying on Heavenly Father for guidance. At the end of my talk I took some poetic license and changed the end of the poem. Reading the entire poem but substituting in the follow at the end.

And for 36 hours and a half that poor Zode
Made lists and made charts at that fork in the road.
Saying, "I will ponder and reflect to know what is right,
In order for me to receive the Lord's light.
So, the Zode got down on his knees that day,
And prayed for guidance so he could be on his way.
He got an answer through a still small voice,
"Go to Place One, that is the right choice."
So with peace in his heart, and with a pep in his step,
He knew his love for the Savior had grown in depth.

What do you think?
