O God our Help at two o'clock, <br />Our Help at half-past three, <br />What do You do at four o'clock <br />When we are having tea? <br /> <br />Must we each tread the bitter path <br />That leads unto the Cross, <br />Deny ourselves all happiness <br />Because You are the Boss? <br /> <br />I'd like to drink a pint of beer <br />(In fact I'd relish three) , <br />Give me a pub with open doors <br />Throughout Eternity!<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-drinker-s-prayer/
