Try these for size:
For well-filled plate
and brimming cup,
and freedom from the washing up.
We thank you, Lord. Amen
As we gather here to dine,
We thank thee Lord for food and wine,
Bless each course from first to last,
As we chat of times gone past,
Future hopes and expectations,
Postings to obscure locations.
So to our stomachs we now turn
As for contentment they do yearn.
No longer for satisfaction shall they wait,
Let’s all sit down and masticate. Amen
God, who gave each man a stomach,
And a wife to comment on it,
Bless those who would desire us thinner,
Now let’s eat a five course dinner. Amen
