That Mcgee Knows How To Pray

Money was getting extremely tight And jobs in town were few McGee was out of work for a while But his faith in God was true McGee was often seen On his front porch praying loud By his atheistic neighbor Who was sure and quick and proud He daily thanked The Good Lord While counting on his rosary For his wife, his family, and his friends Then humbly asked for some groceries “There is no God” the neighbor baulk “McGee is just a fool, "But I have a scheme to end his dream And can do it, without being cruel " So the neighbor went off on a shopping spree Down at the market in town Then returned with bags of groceries On McGee’s porch, set them down Then he hid himself, behind a bush And waited for McGee to come out And when he did, McGee saw the food And Praised the Lord with a shout But the neighbor appeared from where he hid And claimed credit for buying the food Thinking McGee would have to admit That God was merely a ruse When McGee heard the neighbor, He lifted the bags, then sported a crooked grin Winked at the sky and spoke to The lord As he turn to the door going in You not only got me grocery’s, My Lord For which I thank you each day I see you're Mighty clever too For making the devil pay
