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. knight (noun): a solider
in the past who had a high social rank and who fought while riding a horse and
usually wearing armor; a chess piece shaped like a horse’s head; a man who is
given a special honor and the title of Sir by the king or queen of England;
(verb): to give a man the rank of a knight
2. night (noun): the time of
darkness between one day and the next; (adj.): of or relating to the night
Sir Dan—that fabled fearless knight—
Preferred (when he was forced to fight)
To choose the hours of the night.
It’s not that fighting late is fun—
He didn’t like to fight—a ton—
At night, he knew that he
could run!
And why would someone knight
this guy—
Who loved his night-work (darkest
sky!)?
He was so handsome—that is
why!
