Poem Artwork





Homonymnal

© - Tom Hyland - 05-26-09

The suffix - al - means -
Of - or pertaining to -
Ergo - pertaining to Homonyms -
Words that sound alike.

A Hymnal means a book OF Hymns.
And Hims - are not Hers!
Nor, is every car a Hearse!
And Hoarse is not a Horse, of Course!

Unless those Whores are Mr. ED’s!
And a Pee-Wee is not necessarily a Pee-Pee!
But - Sweet-Pea was Popeye’s Nephew,
And Olive Oyl was his Goil, who caused him Moil!

And a Winter Nursery Rhyme -
Could well contain some Rime -
A White Frost some call - Hoarfrost -
With Beauty - Can be Sublime!

A Reason to Season, is a Lack of Taste -
And a Season is a Session of Limited Duration -
Winter - Spring - Summer - Fall -
To Trip - or to Fell a Tree - Timber! The Call!

To Cry - is to Bawl -
To have Fun - is to have a Ball -
To Create a Picture - to Draw -
Speak with an Accent , or Drawl!

You know - like - Y’all!
And a small Boat may be a Yawl!
To Creep along the ground - is to Crawl -
And the Gullet of a Bird - is its Craw!

A Hawse-hole ain’t what you might Think -
A Hawser line goes through it for Towing -
When a Ship is in The Drink!
And it is too Big for Rowing!

Poe was the Maven who wrote The Raven -
A 1929 Song Title - “Ain’t Misbehavin’”
By: Harry Brooks, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Andy Razaf -
Certainly was Not Craven!

While an Icon may be a Symbol -
It is not a Percussion Disk, or Cymbal!
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme -
Scarborough Fair - a Very Good Time!

As Kids we played Mumblety-Peg -
Flipping a Knife -
Lucky to Miss - a Toe or Leg -
Might Could - Cause some Strife!

As I end this Poem - unlike a Pome -
More than Five Seeds - more like a Tome -
And unlike a pretty Flower, or Posey -
Thus completes my Rosy Poesy!

Hey, Mr. Ed quit visiting them years ago, and a Pee Wee is definitely not a Pee-Pee!! (But I do still play Mumbley-Peg.)

PS Don't buy a Poetic License from Matlack; it's another one of those New Jersey scams.

You know, Tom, things could be worse. Just imagine if the only language we spoke was latin.

Tom,

Wonderful homonyms and play on words. Really gave me a laugh. I'll have to check that site out.

Wow. You took a lot of time with this one, can see you researched your information before putting it to page (and in rhyme, yet). Well done, TK!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
