Cloud 9 Concert a SMASH!
Earlier this week, a music group greeted their fans in a spectacular concert. This band was Cloud Nine. Their concert started off in the BYU room with Willie Wildcat getting the crowd pumped up by handing out $1 bills to the kids. Next, the color gurad dutues were handled by Richard Beazer and he brought out Old Glory for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem. After that Cloud Nine performed "On the Good Ship Lollipop" and "Up On the Housetop". After a short intermission, Cloud Nine performed "The Unbirthday Song", "Edelweiss", and "A Whole New World". The crowd then demanded an encore and Cloud Nine obliged and performed "Away in a Manger". One fan said, "It was rockin' hot. Those girls are awesome." The Concert was a SMASH led by lead singers Maggie and Ashley Beazer and back-ups by Eliza and Eden Beazer.

PIG POEM
The Trough has a new FAN. Pig Lover, David Morrison, has submitted a POEM to the Trough. We are pleased to include it here. He ahs some original pig artwork to go along with the POEM and look for it posted on the HOG BLOG in the future.
Maggie,
Here is a poem about pigs. My friend Howdy Sorensen wrote it mostly, and I helped a little. I've attached a word doc with the poem and a couple of illustrations I did a long time ago for one of the verses. And a bunch of pig faces. I appreciate your love for pigs.

PIGS
Pigs while I'm working,
Pigs when I'm done,
Pigs in a rocket that goes to the sun.
Pigs every month,
Pigs every week,
Pigs that go camping and fall in the creek.
Pigs on the outside,
Pigs in the middle,
Pigs that are dancing while one plays the fiddle.
Pigs that are skinny,
Pigs that are thick
Pigs that are roasting on the end of a stick.
Pigs that speak Spanish,
Pigs that speak French,
Pigs that play baseball and sit on the bench.
Pigs on the town,
Pigs in society,
Pigs in a struggle with ongoing sobriety.
Pigs that mean well,
Pigs that do harm,
Pigs that ride horses and work on the farm.
Pigs in the government,
Pigs in the sciences,
Pigs that can operate kitchen appliances.
Pigs in the arts,
Pigs in the nude,
Pigs that are famous and act very rude,
Pigs that are balding,
Pigs that wear wigs,
So scoot yourself over and make room for pigs.
by Paul R. Sorensen and David Morrison
Alternate endings
Pigs that are lazy,
Pigs on the run.
Pigs in the parlor, so this poem is done.
Pigs that are lazy,
Pigs on the run.
Pigs trying to get me, so this poem is done.

That is some fine poetry about pigs.
Great edition! I loved the poem. I only know a couple of answers to the quiz so I don't think I'll win. Oh well. Have you seen the slide show on the BeazersBusiness blog? I miss you!
Love,
Aunt Becky
