Grandfather blessed the table, short and sweet
as much out of necessity as out of design
Only the kitchen supplied us heat
A benediction too wordy,
might turn the dinner cold
the fat on the plate might coagulate
and instead of hitting the sack with a meal pipping hot
we might go to bed with belly ache
The blessing was composed of 8 words
divided into 2 sentences, 2 words a pieces
all the words identical except for 2
the prepositions,"with" and "in"
Jesus be with us
Jesus be in us
