If I Had a Crozier

CEE

Charles Kuralt wrapped up his story
Shook the hand of the Bishop of Spokane
The wealthy man of power
Who lived as a pauper, alone
The CBS newsvan honked, the crew waved,
They turned the corner
And were gone
And the Bishop of Spokane went back
To mighty portals of unbridled Power
Harming
Gorging
Seething, with who he really was

Do I believe that?
No, I don’t
I believe the Bishop tended his ratty garden
Lived poor for days and weeks more
Offering object lesson of sacrifice
Showing piggish people about giving
And I believe that more than one colleague
Wrote the Cardinal-Protector in Rome,
And I believe that one day, the ratty garden
Had no gardener
And Diocese peoples were told a lot of bull
About the untimely death of a man not dead
But who would never, ever be heard from, again
A special offering was taken, in his name
