Hi God,
The Psalm-o-matic
coughed up Ps. 37
twice this week.
I guess you figured
I’d need more than one
recital of the following:
“Give up your anger,
abandon your wrath;
do not be provoked;
it brings only harm”
I’ll be the first to admit
that I’ve been
a bit cranky recently.
So, I’ll give it up.
I’ll be just like the dogs
and take joy in little sniffs,
even the same little sniffs
over.and.over.again.
What’s not to like about ritual?
So, I think I’ll need
you to send some reminders
now and again
lest I backslide
on my good intentions.
Or is that why
you sent me the dogs?
Also, I ask you, please,
to have mercy on my soul,
cranky sinner though I be.
Amen
