Andy's Other Writings ... An Excerpt From: "My Prayer to the Lord" “Oh no, Johnny, no, no, no, th’ Lord, he don’t cuss none,” says JC. “When th’ Lord start jivin’, he talk clean an’ fancy like a preacher. In fact th’ Lord can jive betterer than all th’ motherfuckin’ preachers in town, Father Devine included.” Whereupon JC turns to the bird and says, “Lord,” he says to his parrot, “tell Johnny your First Commandment, th’ one ya pass on to Moses.” “You shall have no other gods before me,” rattles off the parrot in a screechy voice. “You shall have no other gods before me,” screech the bird. “Fuck me,” I says. “E, JC, I’m impressed.” Says JC, “Tellin’ ya, six bits fer th’ Lord—it’s a real steal, Johnny,” he says. “JC,” I says, “you nuts or somethin’? What I’m gonna do with a jivin’ parrot? Naaah,” I says and I start to sneak away. “Hold it, Johnny,” says JC and nabs my sleeve. “Johnny, please listen to your pal.” I says, “JC, me I’m gonna listen to stories that don’t require me partin’ with my motherfuckin’ dough, okay?” “Johnny, ya know what’s worser than sittin’ on that special chair waitin’ for th’ motherfuckin’ cop to pull th’ motherfuckin’ switch to fry yer motherfuckin’ ass, maaan?” says JC. “Go on, JC, tell me again on account I miss hearin’ such a touchy story,” I says. The nigger says, “To have a sure thing runnin’ on a motherfuckin’ race an’ no motherfuckin’ bread to lay on yer motherfuckin’ horse,” he says. “No shit,” I says. “Fuckin’ A well right, Johnny,” the nigger says. ------------------------------- Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
