While a man was golfing in Fife
a funeral cortege was arife,
his head bowed in prayer
at this somber affair
to pay last respects to his wife!

Sitting There Saying a Prayer
Sitting There Saying a Prayer
While I had been sitting there,
Started suddenly to say a prayer,
When I would,
And also could;
God is always with many to spare.

In Prayer Will Plead
In Prayer Will Plead
In prayer to God will always plead,
Meet my requirements and do need;
Never boast;
Enjoy coast;
Help me to overcome all my greed.

Falling Down- Trochee
Every time I take a step,
I end up falling down.
Legs flying throw the air,
Making me look like a clown.
Though if I jump up in the sky,
Holding a simple prayer in my mind.
I fly....
Only to land on my behind!:-)

Converted
There was an old sailor who liked to swear.
And his rot-gut rum he was happy to share.
A cleric aimed to make him repent
But saw the sailor as wholly content.
Now the two are buddies bereft of a prayer.

Beautiful Linda became a nun,
prayed in the Chapel forgiving John
who swore her faithfulness
with very solemn words...

A Prayer
It hurts if canker cuts a rose
Or the moon behind cloud's kerchief goes'
We are that sensitive.
Therefore o God why give
Any pretty girl a runny nose?

Limerick: Once a Cossack In Tundra Cassock
Limerick : Once a Cossack in tundra cassock
Once a Cossack in tundra cassock
Crept to spy on his wife : got a shock
She lay stooped in prayer
Without a stitch on her
Guess whose head was on the butcher’s block ?

Unfair
May I humbly say a word
Why you make my life so hard
Though I pray for your mercy
Never you send returns I see
Is it not quite unfair my Lord

An answer to many a prayer:
Men shell out good loot
To eye a swimsuit,
Preferring the babe was all bare.

Mind Your Prayers
Poor Noah was stuck on the Ark
Quite fed up with hearing dogs bark
He prayed God, "God Grief!
Please grant us relief!"
So now canines howl in the dark!

Zuni Weather
A Zuni who prays every day
Saw a cloud in the sky back in May
He yelled, "Do or die!"
Which made the cloud cry
And that's why its still raining today.

Unanswered Prayer Backlog
Our vicar says prayer is the best
Our doctor says pills pass the test

The bump on the log without any flair
Hail Mary full of grace
Leave me from this rat race
Indifferent I suspend of any care

Piano Two
This young man who played the piano.
Knew something had to be done pronto!
So during the prayer
When no one's aware.
He zipped pants right up with a gusto!

John Rutter Choir Practice
John Rutter Choir Practice
I had found precious singing full of feeling;
Concentrating on each note as if kneeling;
In a prayer,
While being there;
Drew in attention with sounds so appealing.

There are many things have tried,
Designed to keep minds occupied;
In each thought,
That we sought;
With God in prayer should confide.

FRAGILE , HANDLE WITH PRAYER
God made us able and agile,
But life is fragile,
Handle it with prayer,
He will always be there,
You will sense him from the surrounding dazzle!
