donkpow Posted April 29, 2021 Share #6 Posted April 29, 2021 "A line from “Casey at the Bat,” describing the reaction of the hometown crowd when their hero, Casey, strikes out, losing the big game. In general, the expression is used to describe any disappointment: “My father has just lost his job; there's no joy in Mudville tonight.”" https://www.dictionary.com/browse/there-is-no-joy-in-mudville 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted April 29, 2021 Share #7 Posted April 29, 2021 I recall my Dad reading us that poem when we were younger. I don't know if this is simply a statement of location or if things aren't going well. I hope it's the first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Mighty" Casey! Ha! That sure is an ego trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted April 30, 2021 Share #11 Posted April 30, 2021 I have only one piece of advice. Cheer up. It could be worse. That always fixes me up. Sure sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital_photog ★ Posted April 30, 2021 Share #13 Posted April 30, 2021 May be no joy in Mudville but their is mud in the dog yard. Maybe if Lindy, Ryan and Paulie came to visit they could take some mud home so you would have more joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
