THERAPISTS PRAYER
Our therapist, who writes self-help books
Hallowed be thy bank balance.
Thy wisdom come, thy will be done
In our lives as it is in your imagination
Give us this day our daily behaviour therapy
And forgive us our self-defeating behaviour patterns,
As we forgive those whom we try to blame
For all our problems.
Lead us not into introspection
But deliver us from denial.
For thine is the moral high ground,
The recognition
And the last word on all our lives
For ever and ever.
Same time next week then?
William Burt, February 2002
