boxferreting

I had written another one to go with it, but cannot not find it on the blog. here is that one, i have added a few lines ( a rarity for me to do)

Boxferret prayer

Here I kneel,

Being badgered into,

Giving praise,

To the great and good boxferret God,

Oh, box ferret you are greatish and goodish,

Keeping the boxes from a gummy bear fate,

Here we kneel and give praise,

To the great and goodish boxferret god.

Here we kneel,

hog tired at days end,

to play,

Boxferret Jenga,

At the mouth of the Dark aisle,,

Now you call for the sacrifice,

Of cardboard and paper,

To the box filling fudger,

Of this warehouse cave.

Oh, great and goodish Boxferret,

Protect us from the dust viper,

Beware the viper,

His venom of dust,

That Descends into our lungs,

Beware the dust viper,

When He leaves his mark of lust,

In the dust behind him,

Beware the dust viper,

Where He lives in what he loves,

The dead skin of his victims,

that makes his dust venom.

Thank you oh great and goodish Boxferret,

For your protection from the dust viper.

So here take, this poem as sacrifice,

Leaving behind peace,

For the believers in the,

Boxferret god.

Fed parrot fashion this nonsense,

That they must follow the weaseler, follow the weaseler,

follow the weaseler.

But why when he is nothing but a worm?
