Catch as Catch Can

A PRAYER TO FARMER BURNS
 (the last Amateur wrestler)

Kneeling at your blessed feet and grabbing your blessed collar and elbow, we beseech you Oh Farmer
to grant us your singleness of purpose and indifference to the opinions of others.

As you so lived, let us keep our aim true while honestly and without effort
 not give one shit to what others may think.

May this grace be granted by the power of your scissor lock,
the wisdom of your full nelson and the virtue of your arm bar.

Amen
