PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

This prayer is for people, gracious Lord

That toil with Office, Spreadsheets, or with Word;

Look down with favor on the arduous work

Of programmers, technician, office clerk.



And other folk that roam and advertise,

Be they like serpents, prudent, shrewd and wise

And sweet like gentle doves help lesser wits

To manage well the software’s bytes and bits.

Bless the deft engineers that must assist

And coax computers yield a finer grist

And probe, and track down naughty elf and djinn

In systems innards of the weird machine

Repay, reward all those that softly groan

And moan while trouble-shooting on the phone,

Steady the slipping mouse in sweaty hand

That executes their stern remote command.

Watch o’er the hard worked for and useful site

Protect it from the kobold troll and sprite;

And shield the working screen from sudden freeze;

Let first the workers exit at their ease.

Look down with favor on the clever wiz

That straightens out mixed-up directories,

Bless authors, writers that submit their writ;

And gallant souls that have to publish it.

Protect the CPU, we pray good Lord!

And everything that’s on the motherboard;

Accept the in and output’s sourdough maze

With favor as a song of laud and praise.
