A humorous prayer to the Lord regarding Saturday Night antics |
This is a rough first draft; i take criticism well, and would love to heard honest opinions. Honestly, i think maybe a couple of the verses are unnecessary, but prayers are generally longer. Also, i don't think the imagery packs quite the punch, i think i need to make it a bit 'dirtier' and degraded, to more accurately portray a messy Saturday night out...so all comments are greatly appreciated! May the Lord carry me when I totter In high heels down broken paths As I ignore the blisters on my feet Or the pain that’s in my calves May he cleverly disguise the vodka bottle Shaped lump that’s in my bag And hide all trace of any drink I may’ve already had May he hide me from the bouncer’s sight As I stumble down the stairs And drop my glass upon the floor, and curse; There was nearly half a pint in there! May he fill my purse with coins and notes When the shots start to run dry And keep my glass forever full With spirits or with wine May he keep my vision straight and clear When double sight takes hold And keep me from drunkenly flirting with The ugly or the old May he hold my hand and guide me still When the bouncer’s kick me out For slurring all my sentences And staggering about. And when I should vomit in gutters and bus shelters May the Lord hold back my hair And when the pain of the morning should strike me May he heed my hungover prayer. |
