Corpus Christi - no switching station - a quiet town <br />Was an opposite leap from the Berkley years, <br />And the good doctor known there had a reputation <br />In the professional association as the only physican <br />Who would treat the poor. The phrase was: 'has an interest in.' <br /> <br />Someplace I suspect I have the silver dollar he gave me <br />With solid guidance about always having money <br />Which he had but had the wisdom not to worship. <br /> <br />A follower of Baghwan Raijneesh <br />His care for those of lessor furtune <br />Make suspect christian colleagues <br />In the stained glass encampments <br />That live just slightly beyond the country club. <br />This all helps 'corpus christi' to be a nice alliteration <br />For the host of us not reading latin <br />And long gone from the wonder <br />Of a warm breeze sailing town.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/salute-to-a-corpus-christi-doctor-gordon-conwell/
