Praying For Money

by Chris Sorrenti


Seems almost a sin
bribing one god to gain with another
but in this world
faith don’t go far at the supermarket

And Lord!
what lines I could write
...from the seat of a Porsche
prose wrung out on a beach
...in Waikiki

Maybe you think it would spoil me
will six Hail Marys do the trick?
ten Our Fathers?
Lotto 6-49’s tonight
$12 million would sure buy a lot of pens!

I like the humor-ironic truth this one expresses--nice work.
