The Snowmobiler’s Prayer

Ezra LaPlant

Our snowmobile, who art on Earth,
Snowmobile be thy name.
Motor kingdom come.
Many races run,
In Quebec as it is in Minnesota.
Give us today our daily fuel.
And forgive us our oil spills,
As we forgive those who make a bigger mess.
Lead us not into city limits,
But keep us on the snowmobile trails.
For thine is the motor kingdom, the high RPMs, and the fumes,
Forever and ever,
Amen.
