Prayer Before Assembling Swedish Furniture

Lord our Father,
We have gathered here today,
324 boards, bolts, and wooden pegs,
Which I assume by divine miracle,
Somehow form into a coffee table.
Mine chance for timely return come and past,
For cardboard box now rest demolished.
So pray thee lord guide clumsy hand,
And bless mine orange tool kit.
Lord steer me through thick meatball haze,
Grant understanding of directions.
May this thing look like floor model,
And Sven, send him to heaven.
Thee built the world in seven days,
Cannot thy spare a second?
Amen.

I enjoyed. Very good. Really.
The best and I smiled a lot.
