Make the kettle shy

You don’t need to wear a watch today
Your phone’s so smart it tells the exact time
Now it’s time to make the kettle pray.

You won’t need to go to Mass, Sunday
Stay in bed and sleep, is that a crime?
You don’t need to wear a watch today

Don’t buy yourself alarm clocks on E bay
Ignore  appointments, ignore clocks that chime
Now it’s time to make the kettle pray.

Don’t get married, for you have to pay!
Never speak unless it is in rhyme
You don’t need to look at kitsch today

What prayer will the oven think to bray?
Never dream unless it’s your pastime
Now’s the hour to hear the kettle pray.

Rows of saucepans make a sacred shrine.
Where heat and love and care can fast combine
You don’t need to wear a watch today
Come to mine and  make the kettle shy
