Lord help me pay my bills, that's what I said yesterday <br />As my pen ran out of ink and my bank balance shrank <br />To nothing shy of the current most recent figures for poverty <br />Lord help me pay my bills, that's what I said this morning <br />As my calculator went on the blink and my bank balance <br />Continued to shrink and shrink and shrink <br />Lord help me pay my bills, it's what I'm thinking now <br />Taking the cow to the market and trading it for magic beans <br />The truck's tires are worn thin like the financial state I'm in <br />And the beans that I get for the cow probably won't sprout into a stalk <br />Tall enough and strong enough to reach Heaven's door <br />Because with all my problems and yours..... <br />We both forgot to pray to him asking for this drought to end.... <br /> <br />2007 © T Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jack-s-giant-epiphany-that-god-just-might-not-care-about-your-money/
