As crooked as a politician

A Narcissist's Prayer

with a nod to The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost

Our Father—
He and I are real close—

who art in heaven—
I've got a free pass to get in—

hallowed be thy Name—
along with my own—

thy kingdom come—
mine's already here—

thy will be done—
as shall my will—

on earth—
I'm in my element—

as it is in heaven—
I live in my own heaven—

give us this day—
and yesterday and tomorrow—

our daily bread—
I just love the color of "bread"—

and forgive us—
Who? Me? For what?—

our trespasses—
not me—

as we forgive those—
that sounds more like it—

who trespass against us—
they tried, they failed, they're pathetic—

and lead us not into temptation—
this part was put in for everybody else—

but deliver us from evil—
which means, deliver them from themselves—

for thine is the kingdom—
Hey!? What about me?—

and the power—
so I can do what I want—

and the glory—
I was born for it—

for ever and ever—
yes, yes, definitely me, me, me forever—

Amen—
this prayer was probably written for me...
