The Bingo Prayer

[nitarae]

Now folks when I found this little poem/prayer I thought it was so cute that I just had to share it with someone and I thought what a better place than here.

I am a rather religious type of person and I really love to play bingo.I have for quite a few years now,more than I want to think lol.I have come up with quite a few prayers while I was playing but never could really remember what they were,but I won't ever forget this one,it is just so darn cute.

The Bingo Prayer

As I lay me down to slumber,
All I need is one more number,
When to the big game I go,
I pray the Lord I yell BINGO.

Here is more about bingo.

A BINGO CHEER

To win the jackpot is my aim, I'm sure all players feel the same.
I'm getting close ~ just need the nine, any time now, it could be mine.
While down here begging on my knees, say my number IF you please. Holding my breath I hear 9, so ~~ I *am* the one who shouts BINGO

Bingo 'more exciting than bungee jumping'

Bingo is more exciting than bungee jumping
or watching according to research.
The National Bingo Game Association tested the reactions
of a dozen young male thrill seekers.
They found that bingo set their pulses
racing faster than any extreme sports.
Heart monitors showed the men's pulses rose higher
the nearer they came to winning a major bingo prize.
With just one number left to complete on the card,
their heart rates were racing faster than when
poised to leap from the bungee platform.
Just before the bungee jump,
the average heart rate rose
from around 60 to 138 beats per minute.
But with only one number still to complete on their bingo card
their heart rates soared to an average 141 beats per minute.
Sports psychologist Lee Ashworth told Ananova:
"Many of these guys were base jumpers
who spend their free time parachuting from high buildings,
so they are well used to taking big risks.
Yet even these adrenalins junkies found the excitement
of waiting to see if their winning number would come up
almost too much to bear."

THE BINGO PRAYER

"As I lay me down to slumber
all I need is one more number
when to the big game I go
I pray the Lord I yell BINGO".

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF BINGO
1. Thou shalt not sit in thy neighbors lucky seat
2. Thou shalt not stare at thy neighbors card
3. Thou shalt not take the callers name in vain
4. Thou shalt not yell false "Bingo"
5. Thou shalt not wish bad luck on thy neighbor
6. Thou shalt not threaten to kill the "caller"
7. Thou shalt not steal thy husband's money for Bingo
8. Thou shalt not brag about how much thou hast won
9. Thou shalt not whine about how much thou hast lost

REMEMBER ~ It's better to be a "Pollyanna" & find something to be glad
about ~ that's better than being a "Whiner", there is always tomorrow.
After All ~ Every bingo player hopes to win the "Pot O' Gold" at the end of the Rainbow.
