Early Morning Praise

Oh Lord, open my lips
And my mouth shall declare your praise

(but what shall it say, this mouth of mine?
Will it speak nonsense?
Will it cry foul?
Or will I just stand there,
Open-mouthed,
Like a big fish just waiting to be hooked?)

Laudate dominum
Declare the mouths of the saints
Let us praise the lord
Sing the mouths of the psalmists

Let's have another cuppa joe
Mumbles mine
And maybe I'll try again later...
