'O Lord, give me
a backbone as big as a sawlog,
ribs like the sleepers under the church floor,
put iron shoes on me and galvanized breeches,
give me a rhinoceros hide for a skin
and hang a wagonload of determination up in the gable-end of my soul
and help me to sign a contract to fight the devil as long as I've got a fist
and bite him as long as I have a tooth,
then gum him till I die.
all this I ask for Christ's sake, Amen.
