Bless this House

Submitted by jswami on February 12, 2007 - 11:41pm

Bless this house, O Lord, we pray.
Make it safe by night and day.

Bless our humble vestibule,
Bless the TV, bless the pool.

Bless our silly little notions.
Bless our week’s supply of Trojans.

Bless, oh bless the internet.
Bless our liquor cabinet.

Bless our kitchen, for it features
Places where we roast Thy creatures,

Bake them, broil them, nuke them, fry them.
Blessed Lord, please sanctify them

While we’re scarfing down their wings,
livers, legs, and other things—

Breasts and tongues and blood galore,
Bless them, Lord, forevermore.

Bless the toilets where we sit,
Bless the urine, bless the ___.

Bless our fish and parakeet.
Bless our dog, who fouls the street.

Bless our dull routine behavior.
Bless our envy of our neighbor.

Bless this house, O Lord, we pray.
Make it safe by night and day.

Bless the children, bless the wife.
Bless our empty mundane life.

Permit me the liberty of adding a few more lines. Hope you will pardon my audacity.
===========================================

Bless our elastic pride and plastic ego
Bless the night-life and the discos

Bless the show off and the glamour
Bless the glitterati and the clamor

Bless the Bluetooth and the LAN
Bless the rock-stars and metal bands

Bless the sharks and alligators
On Vrindavan billboards, posed as orators

Bless the Harvard Graduates
Bless the Warren Buffets and Bill Gates

Bless the online sleaze domains
Bless the LSD and cocaine

Bless our unbending kids
Bless the education grid

Bless the other woman and the wife
Bless our empty mundane life.

A devotee friend of mine said he was missing a blessing for his car. I sent him this:

Bless our pretty cars and SUVs
Make us use them till we R.I.P.
