O Lord, please don't burn us.

Don't grill or toast Your flock.

Don't put us on the barbecue

Or simmer us in stock.

Don't braise or bake or boil us

Or stir-fry us in a wok.

Oh, please don't lightly poach us

Or baste us with hot fat.

Don't fricassee or roast us

Or boil us in a vat,

And please don't stick Thy servants, Lord,

In a Rotissomat.
