|
A woman bowed down
|
|
Before her plate of spaghetti
|
|
To send God a prayer
|
|
He's heard a thousand times already.
|
|
|
|
But Jesus was in such
|
|
A mischievous mood
|
|
That He let the woman hear
|
|
What the Father thought of her food.
|
|
|
|
"There she goes again
|
|
With her cookie-cutter request
|
|
Full of empty words meant
|
|
To ensure her noodles are blessed."
|
|
|
|
But the woman quickly answered,
|
|
"There's no need to be so rude!
|
|
I will gladly recant the prayer
|
|
If I offended with my gratitude."
|
|
|
|
God then replied,
|
|
Caught by surprise,
|
|
"Sorry, it seems
|
|
My Son played a prank!
|
|
|
|
When words lose their meaning,
|
|
Good intentions are deceiving,
|
|
So now it's uncertain
|
|
Who's receiving your thanks.
|
|
|
|
People only speak to me
|
|
Before they eat and sleep.
|
|
Has it become impolite
|
|
To think on your feet?"
