The Pirate's Prayer

December 30, 2007 by Christodolus in Humour, Internet, Religion

I noticed that Marc posted about a spoof prayer to aXXo (a well known ripper), and I couldn't help but notice that it was mostly a copy from something I'd seen ages ago that's probably a derivative of something even earlier, from the times of floppies even.

Our father, who art a pirate
Filesharing be thy name,
From edonkey it'll come,
Or bittorrent its from,
On computers as it is on trackers.
Give us this day our daily copy
And forgive us, our leeches
As we forgive those who leech from us.
And lead us not into court
But deliver us from the mpaa
For thine is the backup
For ever and ever
Amen

Here's a slightly different reference.
