You are so gracious and kind, please have mercy and grant my prayer, and while you're at it, please grant me forgiveness too. You see, there's this photographer, Boolie, who's fascinated with raccoons. Has been ever since he received Ranger Rick as a child, ever since his grandmother knit him a raccoon rug that hung on his wall as he grew up.
And as you know, Lord, we raccoons are plentiful and abundant, and yet we rarely let him see us. Oh sure, he's surprised us a few times as we raided the raspberries in his backyard, and he really surprised us the first time we realized he had gotten a dog, but mostly we've managed to stay out of sight.
But we are sorry now and realize the error of our ways, and ask that you will allow him to photograph us. Maybe just this once.
Your humble servants, the raccoons.
