An Atheist’s Bedtime Prayer

I’m heading to bed for the night, and I thought I’d leave you with my revised version of a classic children’s prayer from the 18th century:

Now I lay me down to sleep.
Or toss and turn while counting sheep.
If I die before I wake
The funeral should have milkshakes.

Sweet dreams!

  3. I love it! It’s so very epic!

  4. LOL – awesome!

    My first thought was, ‘I hope I don’t die in my sleep because my apartment is a mess.’ Don’t know if that constitutes a prayer though…
