Chicago Baseball Poem Foothill College Poetry Workshop with Dick Maxwell recalling interesting poem that stumped the class He pierced the banks, served a sauer fox in the field by the park. Dick said "First, sauer is misspelled. Anyone figure out what's going on here in this poem? After moments of silence, raised my hand and tell the class "It's a Chicago baseball poem." "Billy Pierce struck out Ernie Banks; Hank Sauer lined out to Nellie Fox at Wrigley Field & Comiskey Park." In the back row someone said "You're giving too much away Peter. I'll have Al Capone after you!" "But he's dead" I retorted. And he countered "His mafia ghosts are even tougher, so better watch out!" "Are you from Chicago?" I asked. "You bet!" he replied, "Owner of Pizza Chicago in Palo Alto. I'll treat you all last day of class Pepperoni, cheese, sausage, pineapple? I'll have my men deliver it here!" The class shouted "Hurrah! Let's have a party!" Peter Y. Chou Mountain View, 8-20-2021 |
