Looks Can Fool You, 39


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

39: multiply

Those kids are gifted—multiply.
They’re bright—creative—you should see!

Oh, they’ll grow up to multiply
At least, I hope that they will try!—

For we need talent everywhere—
And talent, as you know, is rare.
