Salacious Prayers

[PrinceMyshkin]

Ashes to ashes, lust
to lust. If the Church don’t get you
concupiscence must!

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
or better still might He provide
for my body this night a bride!

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
but Lord, if I do, don’t make me weep
by sending me a female sheep!

:lol: this is hilarious... oops, I hope I didn't miss the deeply moving and thoughtful reflections about human nature etc that one could read between the lines here :)

Yes, that's a funny poem, shou. I guess you changed the ending? I think I remember that the original one was different.

Yes, unfortunately you missed some intertextual reading:

oooh, sorry, I didn't get the complicated, aperiodic code you used to encrypt your msg :D

Quite right. I felt it needed a third verse. And maybe others here would add their own 4th, 5th &c verses? Of a comparably sacred nature, of course.

All is vanity, saith The Preacher,
all is vanity—
I know he's found dreaming about it
really is anyway...

I TOLD you that you were a funny guy.
