Looks Can Fool You, 33


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

33: laminate

Some things we need to laminate
Protect them well from wear.
The laminate can demonstrate
How very much we care

About the object coated so—
It’s really not abstruse:
The thing we coat? We wish to save?
A kind of golden goose.
