Great writing

A letter to the editor of the Deseret Morning News:

Beady-eye terrorists lurking

I live in the independent sovereign nation of SunCrest. Despite the many advantages of SunCrest, there lurks a dark, evil side. It is a mouse-like rodent of stocky build, small eyes and short tail commonly known as a vole. These small terrorists organize a seasonal winter attack on the yards of SunCrest citizens, leaving destruction and mayhem in their paths.

Despite evasive measures, these fanatical insurgents cross yard borders at will with no agenda other than mass annihilation of Kentucky bluegrass. My cat fights a relentless battle during the summer months to eradicate these insurgents.

While my cat does deposit several carcasses a day on the porch, they are dead — making interrogation impossible. I implore outside forces to assist in this crusade. Utah State University, with its resources, should be able to produce a weapon or two of mass destruction. My inquiries to the United Nations have been met with a lot of rhetoric but no action.
