72 books in the Catholic Bible
The sacred scripture reaching

72 disciples of Confucius
Who could understand his teaching

I've been to France and Ireland
Went to Mass one Dublin day

I woke up early, very early
For the Confucian temple in Taipei

Irish bars play my music
I'm sure they'll play yours too

I sometimes talk to the statue
Of Confucius at GMU

(I silently thank him too)
