Courageous Porridge Slam

Prayed for courage

And in return was given porridge

Topped with salt instead of sugar

And water for milk

Cooked in a kitchen of filth

To be eat out of a chipped saucepan

With plastic chopsticks for cutlery

Tracing help into forage ferrell wild oats

The holy father's sins 

Handed down to his children
