The Dinner Prayer

The cook forgot to wash her hands
Old grease was in the frying pans
The milk is nearly three weeks old
And Uncle Bentley has a cold

Yet if I don't ingest a bit
They'll make an issue out of it
So hold my nose and here it goes,
The start of all my gastric woes:

Now I sit me down to eat
I pray the Lord near death to cheat
If I should die before I'm done
May someone dial 911!

  1. This is funny and also true to life! I once had an aunt-by-marriage offer breakfast, prefacing her invitation with: "Good! There's pork chop grease still in the pan from last night. That'll keep the saussages from sticking." I had been warned and could truthfully say I had already eaten.
    Joyful
