Did You Think to Store?

I've been thinking alot about food storage lately, with the economy spiraling out of control like it is. Here's a couple of cute but corny songs that I found a few years ago on the Internet.

Sing to the tune of "Did You Think to Pray?"

Ere you spent your family's paycheck
Did you think to save?
Just a little for the storage
Just a little for some porridge
When the times are grave
Oh how storage helps the faithful
When the Prophet's words we heed
So, if you would not be tearful
Plan what you will need

When your neighbor tried to teach you
How to can and sew
Did you feel intimidated
And your plans procrastinated
Now you're feeling low
Oh, how empty are the cupboards
Oh, how ragged are your clothes
How you'll wish that you had listened
When the good life goes

Wheat and beans and salt and honey
May not sound so hot
But if you are going hungry
If your tummy's cold and grumbly
They can hit the spot
Store some diapers for the kiddies
Everything to see you through
Cloth and patterns, thread and needles
Store some long johns too

If this topic's repetitious
And you're dull and bored
When you've not but empty dishes
And you've used up all your wishes
You'll wish you had stored
Food that's tasty and nutritious
Clothes and bedding, tools, and seed
Skills that guard your family's future
Gather what you'll need

Sing to the tune of "Yankee Doodle"

Our prophet's told us to prepare
For famine and disaster
If we obey, our family will
Live happily ever after

Chorus:
"Be prepared," our prophet said
Store your wheat and honey
Plant a garden; learn first aid
And don't forget some money!"

When Father Noah built an ark
The people laughed and shouted
But when the rain began to pour
Those people never doubted
(repeat chorus)

We have been warned in latter days
There will be floods and earthquakes
So put your house in order and
Prepare before the dam breaks!
(repeat chorus)

Oh please do not procrastinate
Excuses have no muscle
You'll never find a better time
Than NOW! So better hustle
(repeat chorus)
