Bedtime At "ike and Jane's " Sequence 5

Hi folks. The name's Ike. 'Member me from my other writes? check 'em out if you'd like. Me and the Missus, Jane here, jest wanted to say hey. Jane, she ses I oughta tell you good folks how I pray. She thought it might be a help to one a ya some day. Now ya see most everybody prays the way they sees fit. That's just fine 'ceptin' in the mornin'..well, see.. I fergit. Way back, a friend name 'a Wally hepped me on that score a bit, And since then, in the mornin', I aint hardly never fergit. See at night I got no problem thankin' God with the Missus, then it's bedtime and we gits in our hugs and kisses. We tuck in her kitty cats and then we hit the hay. As I said in the mornin' when I got up I'd fergit ta pray. So at night when I drop my britches on the floor, I kick my shoes up under the bed behind 'em, so when I wakes up in the mornin' after a good snore, well, I gotsta git down on my knees ta find 'em! And whil'st I'm on my knees, I 'member somethin', Hoss, Right 'bout then, I 'member that I ain't the Boss. So then I ask Him ta help me do what He wants that day, and 'cause He's Merciful and Good, He helps me that way. ...Z'at what you wanted me to say, my darlin' Missus? Reckon so ..cause she.. gimme a couple 'a kisses. Nite nite, darlin'... and to you folks too! God bless y'all..

Both witty and poignant, Robert. And I like your clever use of the hillbilly slang. God helps us all and getting "more kisses" is a good reminder to be thankful. Very nice! Love, Carolyn
