Kitty Prayers
Now I lay me down to eat,
I pray the lord some toys for me,
And If I die before I wake,
Its okay, I still have eight,
Now I lay me down to take a nap,
I pray to wake still a cat,
But if I die before eleven,
Its okay, I still have seven
Now I lay me down for fun and play,
Oops! I broke the doll made of clay,
So If I die by crucifix,
Its okay, I still have six,
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the lord some fish to eat,
If I die and lose my life,
Its okay, I still have five,
Now I lay me down for food,
I pray the lord to hear a moo,
And if I die within the hour,
Its okay, I still have four,
Now I lay me down for love,
I pray the lord for a dinner of dove,
So If I die, falling from a tree,
Its okay, I still have three,
Now I lay me down; stretch and yawn,
I pray the lord for lots and lots of yarn,
But if I die, with my head in a shoe,
Its okay, I still have two
Now i lay me down to rest,
I pray the lord to do the rest,
And if I die before you come,
Its okay, I still have one,
Now I lay me down for now,
I pray the lord hears my final meow,
'Cause I died on my finally prowl,
So its not okay, l don't has none.
(This was written four years ago when I was ten with my great grandma and its really
special to me so I thought I'd post it)
