By an advertising executive:
Our Father
To
the Chairman of Directors,
Huge Corporation,
Box 666,
Capitalist City 54321
Who
art in Heaven
in
the suite of offices on the 77th floor
Hallowed be thy
name
Everyone is shit scared of you
Thy Kingdom come
In
case you come downstairs and see us goofing off.
Thy will be done
Your memos tell everyone your policies
on Earth
from the shredder boys in the basement
As
it is in Heaven
to
the batch of lick-ass VP’s on the floor below yours.
Give us this day
our daily bread
Thanks for the miserable paycheck
And forgive us our
trespasses
and
please don’t fire me for the debacle over the Pepsi account
As we forgive those
like
I never dobbed in Jones when I caught him
Who trespass
against us
doing lines in the exec washroom
Lead us not into
temptation
If you don’t want me to pad my expense account
but deliver us from
evil
you shouldn’t have so many gorgeous secretaries in the typing pool.
For Thine is the
Kingdom
You own this building
The Power
and you’re the majority stock holder of the Company
And the Glory
and you make sure we never forget it
For ever and ever
if we want to qualify for our company pension
Amen
You’re the boss.
