Looks Can Fool You, 43


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

43: perfect

If you try to perfect both yourself and your wife,
It is likely you’ll have a most frustrating life.
For all wives are all perfect—as you surely know—
And all husbands are not—check their portfolio.

So perfect just yourselves, all you husbands out there.
It’s a way you can show that you really do care.
But if you must insist on correcting your spouse?
Oh, you soon will be finding a bachelor's house!
