Prayer For the Vorpal Sword

Dear God, May all cardinals be red
May the pope be Catholic
Bless bishops and their pointy heads
May their coffee come in cups 
Filled to the brim with liquid
Caffeine free until Thy kingdom comes 
Until the end of time or sooner
May Thy will be done, Amen                                
                                                                       
Dear God, keep us free from sin
From Kardasians,
(perhaps a skin disease?)                 
Please protect us from the sleazy                                                       
From carbonated drinks with bubbles
And all other troubles as seen on TV                               

If it be your will dear Lord
May I have a Vorpal sword
The one that goes snicker-snack
To slay the evil dragon Jabberwocky
Dead or even deader than that
For ever and ever more, Amen
