Notes About The Poem

Gospital: (noun) a gospel hospital

Gospital


If only hospitals were gospitals
And when admitted,
Elvis was blaring on the loudspeakers
Singing gospel songs that not only heals 
The heart, body and mind
But also, the soul!

fyi: 'Hospital' in the Russian language is, indeed -- 'Gospital!' How about that?!

No way. Amazing. This poem was inspired by a typo.

Hi brother Benjamin that would be just great. Nothing better than a little soul music.
