Cubla Khan

by James Finn Garner

Or a division in a fragment. A dream.

In Wrigley Field did Quintana
A string of stately innings hurl,
Where Bryant a salami dinged
And El Mago did his magic things
To sweep the oft-accursed Birds.

Yea, twice from left field’s fertile ground
did Zobrist strike a Cardinal down:
Rizzo, Bote, Albert brought their lumber
Redbird fans were too shell-shocked to weep
The Cubs at last have woken from their slumber
And gained first place with a welcome sweep.
