Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Praying Older and Lazier

From early childhood I was taught

By the grownups on how to pray.

Be in a kneeling, yes I ought,

To prove I'm in a humble way.

Then to pray for God's will, not mine,

Which, old now, is hard for me still,

Cuz oft I think I am divine,

Convinced that what I want's God's will.

Now arthritic, it's pain for me,

So I do skip the part about

Supposed to pray on bended knee.

Lazy, I keep prayer short, no doubt.

Please help me God to think and do

What's good, if I succeed, thank You.
