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. nicks (noun—plural of nick): a small cut; a small broken area
2. nix (noun): nothing; a water sprite of Germanic folklore; (verb): to refuse to accept or allow; (adv.): used to express disagreement
He always played his stupid tricks—
Asked me to join, but I said, “Nix.”
He flashed at me a flashy blade—
Some nicks it caused (oh,
will they fade?).
I went down to the local pond,
Invoked a nix from far
beyond.
The sprite advised me to avoid
The nixter—I was so annoyed.
He called me later—“We should go
To drink a bit? A picture show?”
But my reply was simple: “Nix!
You cut me, Dude—and just for
kicks!”
And in my will I’ve left him nix—
And posted (Facebook) ugly pix
Of him absconding with a swan
He’d stolen from the judge’s lawn.
