Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright; The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light, And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout; But there is no joy in Mudville — mighty **C** asey has struck out. Yes, I am **C** asey, the (former) star hitter of the Mudville baseball Team! ---

Dammit! I used Casey as “it” in a Botticelli game on another message board not that long ago. Coulda shoulda got him. FWIW, I’d consider it poetry and not literature. It is rhyming verse. Good one, **SCAdian**! ---
