A Prayer to Sophie

Sorting, sorting paper
From other garbage
Left over from a supper
Smelly is half-rotten cabbage

But I am far from a pauper
Sorting, sorting garbage
I am actually cat with endless purr
Because I'm having a time so super
With my sweet Goddess

Sorting, sorting garbage
This is the prayer that I offer
To my sweet Goddess Sophie
Who rewards my labour with
Pleasant sweats.

(In Gnosticism, the Holy Spirit was often called "Sophia.")
