Dialing God's Number

I'm phoning the Lord,
I hope he picks up,
I must register a complaint,
About something that ain't,
For me, no over-runneth cup,

My lawyer ran away,
With what money I had,
And I treated him so well
That weasely old cad...

Yes, turns out my lawyer was bad,
Left me here broken, crying
 hopeless, and terribly sad...

I got a busy signal,
Would expect little less,
It's true of my life, 
I've made such a mess...

Ten minutes later
 I tried once again,
And my luck held, bad
as it usually does
Bad luck, not good,
it always appears was

This time I cried,
Out loud, thoughts
turned quite obscene,
Seems I am the first one
to get God's answering
machine
