The prayingest prayer I ever prayed

How to Pray.
"The proper way for a man to pray" said Deacon Lemuel Keyes,
"And the only proper attitude is down upon his knees"
"No, I should say the way to pray," said Reverend Dr. Wise,
"Is standing straight with out stretched arms, and rapt and upturned eyes."
"Oh! No, No, No, said Elder Snow, "Such posture is too proud,
A man should pray wish eyes fast closed and head contritely bowed"
"It seems to me his hands should be austerely clasped in front,
With both thumbs pointing toward the ground" Said Reverend Father Blunt.
"Last year I fell in Hodgkin's well headfirst "Said Cyrus Brown,
"With both my heels a sticking' up and my head a pointing down,
And I made prayer right then and there, the best I ever said,
The prayingest prayer I ever prayed, a standing on my head"
