Homophonic nonsense.
\nby cricketjeff on April 9, 2008.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nRowed home across the bay, then rode along the road
\nAn ugly man had broken down, so then we towed a toad
\nSaw a man who looked so sore, his red rash could be read
\nSun burnt son of some old soak, who bred the wheat for bread<\/p>\n
Home in time for soup for tea, it’s lemon grass and thyme
\nReading verse all winter long, it’s rhyme along with rime
\nAll I ask for is an awl, I want a hole that’s whole
\nWe voted where to put the flag, a poll about a pole<\/p>\n
All this nonsense that I write, may not be right for ewe
\nBut homophones are what you said, so homophones I’ll do
\nIt doesn’t make a lot of sense, Oh no I know that now
\nIt makes a lot of nasty scents, like brown stuff from a cow!<\/p>\n
I’ll see my way off to the sea, and there I’ll weigh my verse
\nI taught my children games like these their efforts are still worse
\nSo sew this rubbish in a bag and turn your back to me
\nI’ll feed a tern a chunk or two and set your contest free!
\n Author notes
\nHomophones:-
\nRowed rode road, towed toad, Saw sore, red read, Sun son, bred bread, time
\nthyme, rhyme rime, All awl, hole whole, poll pole, write right, ewe you, sense
\nscents, no know see sea, there their, weigh way,So sew, turn tern.<\/p>\n
Lots of opportunities missed, I meant to write this a week ago and just noticed
\nit was ending, so had to rush, sorry, the idea deserves a better write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
