Time
for more instances of the homophone:
a word pronounced the same as another but differing in
meaning, whether spelled the same way or not, as heir and air.
1. jam (noun): a food made by boiling sugar and fruit to a thick
consistency; a difficult state of affairs; the pressure or congestion of a
crowd; etc. (verb): to fill a place completely; to press or push an object into
a tight place; to play music informally with other musicians; etc.
2. jamb (noun): a board that forms the side of a door or window
Oh,what an awful, crazy jam
I somehow found that I was
in.
So I decided bread and jam
Might help remediate my sin.
I leaned against the door’s
new jamb
And thought about my awful
state—
I thought perhaps that I
could jam
With friends, who all played
really great.
And then it was I tried to jam
The money I had just then
robbed
Into my pocket. Such a jam
Of cops! So I just stood and
sobbed.
The cops then took me—jammed me in
A seedy cell. The judge—no
smiles—
Then tossed me in the county
bin,
Where I now wait my coming
trials.
