Analysis of Prayer for "Sound Doctrine"



Oh most Holy Dusty, Patron Saint of Toads
I pray this prayer to you, Holy Holy Dusty Rhoades
-
I pray for understanding, may I be omniscient just like you
Never mind about the Scriptures*, of those you had no a clue
-
Bestow upon me wisdom, so the Word I can divide*
Just like Kenny Brandt, they'll be my only guide
-
Perfect and Inerrant, is the Holy Writ
That's why I want to change it, twist it to make it fit
-
I pray especially patients, and I want it Right Away!
Give it to me NOW, then I will go and play

*1st Cor 15:3&4 - last four words
*2nd Tim 2:15
