Thyme to right some poet tree

‘I’m getting tired of songs to sing at work,’ says Terry Davies, who must also be tired of life. Or maybe not.
‘So how about homonym poems to compose at work? The winner would be the poem with the most homonyms that passes the standard Microsoft Word 97, 2000 or XP English spell-checker.’
He encloses a fine example written by Janet E. Byford, entitled An Ode to the Spelling Chequer: ‘Prays the Lord for the spelling chequer/That came with our pea sea!/Mecca mistake and it puts you rite…’ and so on.
We’ll give special credit to the creative use of appropriate regional accents and examples culled from real life. Can you do better? And if you don’t know what a homonym is, luke it up.
