Answered Prayer

So I says to myself, I says,
"Georgie, you can be anyting you wanna be."
And I got tuh tinkin, maybe I uhs right.
I don't have tuh be uh plummah.
Aftah all, I uhs miserable.
Downright mis-ah-ra-ble.
Den Manny tells me, "Maybe you could be a cahpentah."
Like Jesus or somethin.
And I tink, yeah, I like wood.
So that night I say a prayuh.
"Deah Jesus, I don't wanna be in pipes no moah.
I wanna be in wood, like you was."
Well, that Jesus is a funny guy.
Wohks in mysterious ways.
But I gotta say, I ain't nevah been happiah.
