I was a swayin’
and a prayin’
and a shoutin’
AMEN
But when I looked up,
all I saw was a DC-10
lookin’ like a flea
slow scootin’
‘cross the sky
With some kind of feathered boa
shootin’ out its tail end
You gotta wonder
if some guernsey
out in farmer Jone’s pasture
Ever looks up
and wonders--
seems
a sip or two
of Mad Dog
gets one to contemplatin’
least ways long enough
to stop
the swayin’
and the prayin’
bottle’s empty,
AMEN.
