Prayer of the Ant
Thank you God for giving me 6 legs
That’s more than ample and plenty I guess
To get around and praise You for Your glory
Thank you for the 6 very sticky feet
I get to walk on walls and ceilings
But don’t really understand what for
(Most food is on the floor.)
And thank You for giving me a place to live
Even though it is only a small hole on Earth
And sometimes like my mind it gets a little dirty
Protect me from the giants with ugly feet
Who want to step on me because I’m tiny
And because they like high fashion shoes
I understand some styles are very expensive
And really hurt when they stomp on you
Squish you or is it squash? I can’t remember
When the skinny heel comes down on my forever
Please lead me to the picnic promised land of plenty
Flowing with milk and honey without the milk
Because we are not cows and are allergic to it
Keep my sensors clean and pure for Your greater good
For Thee and Thy and Thou and Thine
However you pronounce them, it all sounds fine
Protect me from Xfinity.com and evil signal senders
Don’t allow me to become a TV antennae either
Because my feelers don't feel like it
That would be offensive and less divine
Protect me from my enemies one and all
Mostly tall
Don’t let the 2 footed giants step on me
Especially those in Prada
Amen
