Utah Saves Sophocles!!!

Utah trekked across the Grecian Desert sands, blazing sun and all
Utah was making good time, he had ample water and a purple parasol
Shortly after his venture began, he came across a ragged, thirsty man
Utah gave aid and direction as the ragged man related a diabolical plan
His name was Thurman Pez, curator of the great Sophocles Exhibits
Charged with the care of Sophocles private tome, keeping them secret
Sophocles asked that his private tome ne'er be revealed to any eyes
Bandits had stolen the lost tome from his tomb in order to sell the prize
Utah headed off leaving Thurman the purple parasol made in Albania
So confident he could save the tome from the tomb he danced the Macarena
Utah knew little of Sophocles other than he had penned Oedipus Rex
He had read it once, a play now famous for giving so many a complex
Utah intended to help, a sojourn later, Utah came across the bandit's tracks
He followed them to a nearby bandit camp where he formed a plan of attack
With one bandit on watch while the others slept, Utah hatched a scheme
Utah approached the camp hidden by night, guided by the moon's gleam
He identified the secret tome from the tomb located next to the bandit's feet
Utah would have to get close to the watchful bandit, he had to be discreet
He approached the camp quietly, once in guitar range he began to sing
An old camp song from the Klondike, a lullaby later, the bandit was snoring
Utah reclaimed Sophocles' tome from bandit camp and melted into the night
Though curious, Utah did not read so much as a word, it just wouldn't be right
Sophicles wish to keep his own tome private and intact must be held dear
Upon return of the tome to the tomb, Sophicles grateful ghost did appear
"Utah, thank you so much for returning these private writings to my memorial
You're my favorite person, next to mom, I would hug you were I only corporeal
