Witty Dining in night Graces
I'd appreciate a bit of help from the gathered wealth of knowledge here - can anyone let me have any witty dining in night graces they may have heard, and more importantly been able to remember? I recall being creased up with laughter at some of the brilliant ones I've heard, but I'm not able to penetrate the port-driven haze and remember any of them!

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

who first turned water into wine
Please forgive these foolish men
about to turn it back again

Not strictly a grace, but my favourite benediction is:
God bless all here! That's his job. May the skin of your arse never cover a banjo and may you get to heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're deid.
