Bus Driver's Prayer

While looking round on the net, trying to kill time, after having finished a draft of a paper for comp exams and not being able to get back in the house off the patio due to the removal of the lower section of our walls (see previous post), I found something called The Bus Driver's Prayer. In typical British fashion the humor is very local and very dry. But you might find it an interesting parody of the Lord's Prayer.

Our Farnham,^[1] who art in Hendon

Harrow be Thy name.

Thy Kingston come; thy Wimbledon,

In Erith as it is in Hendon.

Give us this day our daily Brent ^[2]

And forgive us our Westminster^[3]

As we forgive those who Westminster against us.^[4]

And lead us not into Thames Ditton^[5]

But deliver us from Yeovil.^[6]

For Thine is the Kingston, the Purley and the Crawley,^[7]

For Esher and Esher.^[8]

Crouch End.
