Dear Lord,
as my life declines
and my energies decrease,

I find I need new batteries

more than ever
hold me by Your Power,

Long life energisers are good.

that I may not offend You,

By buying cheap ones from Tesco

but daily increase in Your Love.

but only if I get the ones I want, no cheap crap.

Give me strength to work in Your Service
till the last day of my life.

or better still give me a substantial index linked pension

Help me to ever have
an increasing dread of venial sin,

Veneral desiese do you mean? You can get treated you know, for free.

or whatever would cause
the slightest withdrawal of Your Love,

Syphillus or AIDS maybe. or is he on about the alternative to condoms.

all day long,
and at night keep me close to Your Heart;
and should I die,
ere the morning breaks,

Then kick me out of bed before I go cold and start to leak bodily
fluids over you.

may I go rejoicing

you mean singing, why not just listen to the radio?

in that vision of Your entrancing beauty,

With the TV on, is that it?

never to be separated from You.

I'll start to go off after a while. not a good move.



Amen. Women and Children, Cats and Dogs and assorted small furry pets.
