Stephen Cormany - "Sorcery in the Event"

The Black Hole of Calcutta
Was last seen up close in 1967
In a game between Baltimore and Detroit
At Tiger Stadium.
Ed Brinkman was at bat and
Steve Barber on the mound for the Orioles.
The mirage was brief:
The Taj Mahal shat itself
Free of the British Navy,
Winston Churchill and Mahatma Ghandi
Dove for cover,
And Brooks Robinson re-emered at third base.
Later, he admitted to chewing Red Man tobacco,
Accepted a stiff fine,
And promised to turn over a new leaf.
