thank you, Jesus
thank you, lord
for giving us
this break
forgiving our mistakes
with chocolate
chocolate and more chocolate
and 5 games of football
and stabbings in Prahran
and all those wars on television
and nearly an election
and all this crazy weather
25 degrees in April
no longer flood
but drought
if ever there was

that you are
in control, lord
now’s the time
to just say no
to politely
but firmly
point this out.
