Looks Can Fool You, 38

het·ero·nym

Noun: one of two or more homographs [words that are spelled the same]
that differ in pronunciation and meaning
(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use: circa 1889

38: mow

I was surprise to read just how
This word can rhyme wow and sow.
A pile of hay is called a mow!

Of course you have to mow the hay
To get a mow to stack today.
So: mow, then mow: It is the way!
