Sister Mary Riemann In Central Park

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The nun 
with the vicious curve ball
was the star of 
Saint Cecilia's Softball team

Sister Mary Riemann
was also the reason
High Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral
was ill-attended
on game day
 
That is when 
devout, wealthy Catholics
gathered at the softball fields
to cheer for 
Saint Cecilia's Softball team
(and make large donations)
 
This particular Sunday,
they were playing
the Naughty Nuns of Nanuet
who featured
home-run slugger 
Sister Hank O'hara
 
Sister Mary Riemann
struck out Hank
three times
and the Cecilias
coasted to a 6-0 victory
 
The game-end celebration
in Central Park
was long-lasting
and festive
 
Everyone was granted
absolution
and ran for cover
when there was
thunderous applause
from the sky

🙏 
🙏 🙏 
🙏 🙏 🙏

    Was the nun with the curve ball related to the man
    who created Riemannian Geometry?
