My Prayer
Dear Lord, thou sayest in thy teachings that quote 'The meek shall inherit the earth' unquote. Well, what I'd really like to knoweth is, when?
I dost consider that I hast been very meek indeed up to now, even to the point where people keep accusing me of being an apathetic wimp. In spite of this all I hast inherited thus far is five hundred smackers when mine uncle went to sitteth at thy right hand (we hope).
Now I knowest it's all a matter of relativity and that, to many of the multitude, this sum is an awful lot of shekels. I must admiteth that the cash didst cometh in handy but, in this humble servants opinion, five hundred quid isn't really 'The Earth'. A couple more zeros and perhaps we're talking turkey.
Couldst thou please showeth me in thy divine fashion how I might be even meeker so I canst inheriteth a good bit more.
Amen.
From thy humble servant, Martin.
(I hope The Lord hath a sense of humour or it's the fiery furnace for me)
