O Come, All Ye Faithfull
written by: Lorraine Murtagh
Salutations, greetings, welcome;
to our temple, all the faithful.
Come and worship.
Too colourful to pray
yet we do;
Blinded with desire.
Adoration, dedicated devotion
from the pious.
Recruit new followers.
Tinny melodic sounds;
organ playing.
Casino hymns singing.
Ching, ching, ching;
Zealous for your undivided
attention. Hear me!
Feed the collection;
soul expanding. Pull, wait,
one, two, three.
Prayers, chants, mantras:
Whisper, “Please, God.”
Kiss the icon.
Our Lady of Luck;
Fruits of fortune, hear
our prayer.
Loyal, staunch, unswerving;
Arms outstretched, kneeling.
Coins spill forth.
Everyone should have three careers in life; one for fun, one serious and the one that you were meant to do, the one that feeds your soul. I am lucky that my fun and serious careers have given me the gift of a lifetime's worth of enriched material for the pleasure of writing. So here I am in rural Portugal, living my best life with my beautiful Husband and my bouncy, brindle boxer Bert.
