The Wish

Please Lord, take this worthless lover,
Smite his brain and please do smother;
Afflict his limbs and make him quiver,
Strike his heart and slay his liver.
Take the sign of his zodiac,
Stretch his tongue and make him quack;
Seal his lungs and short his nose,
Cramp his feet and curl his toes.
Plug up his ears, dry up his tears
By all means please short his years
Take his rod and bend it round,
Till the thing cannot be found;
Please Lord, let this service bring,
Rest in peace to Lulu Ding.

A witty, angry and funny write. A kind of negative prayer, but not really malicious. We all need a sense of humor! Some inventive requests here...lol! Love, Robert.
