Homophone Hospice

Round Mudville Market, foul air was omnipresent
butchers rent fowls’ necks to make tenant's rent, 
the scene that was seen was most unpleasant.

As sunset fell, we watched through evening light, 
as Casey mighty Casey held his stout bat tight
while striving poet searches to right words write.

Seems a southpaw would tear up bravado's montage
Casey’s legend scorched by unknown pitcher’s flamage 
and tears like diamonds sluice down his visage

As darkness gathers, a lone bat flits round diamond site
with Casey wiff, the bleacher rift, for sure a sorry sight 
as we quaff stout, raise glasses high, E. Thayer's tale recite.
