Conversation

Hello, Holy Father
I have been trying to get in touch
Your secretary said you are booked
For the next millennium

It must be a drag being Immortal
A leader of religion and all
Do you have a hotline
For emergency prayers
You should charge for the dumb ones,
Just some business advice you might consider

I must sound so blasphemous
Not believing in prayers
Even though I truly would like to chat

Father,I do have a serious question
Can I borrow some angels for a party
I promise to bring them home early
Well they might have to on their own
On account of not having wings and all

Father, I’m just making conversation
Listening to all those prayers without asprin
I would understand famines and misfortunes
We are selfish after all calling you and whining
When was the last time someone asked how you are
So here’s my prayer, how are you?
