Mr Simpletons Prayer

Our father who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name … Please grant us the attainment of world peace Please take the homeless ones off the streets May men and women have plenty apiece Children, their fair share of peanuts and sweets May sickness be far from me, mine, hers and his May good health be in abundance May beautiful flowers and majestic trees Create atmospheres for the sun’s dance Keep famine and pestilence away Let our barns and silos be full in stock Keep hunger and starvation at bay Make our aged as strong as a rock May ours be an egalitarian society Where everyone has the means to their ends May ours be a classless economy On which profit per person’s desire depends May our roads be free of accidents Our earth from natural disasters May our vehicles get no scratches and dents That they may gleam under the light of the stars Keep our r0ads free from hazards The streets, safe and secure from hoodlums May we never encounter witches nor wizards Who’ll, from our farms, steal berries and plums May we all get passes to the gates of Heaven Regardless of multiplicity of religions That all may attain the perfection of seven And be one with the angels and legions Amen…
