het·ero·nym
Noun: one of two
or more homographs [words that are spelled the same]

and meaning
(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use:
circa 1889
52: record
He set a record—did you hear?
The most books read, a single year.
So we record that stunning
feat—
This record will be tough to
beat.
And he won’t beat it (sad to say)
His brain blew up that final day.
It simply could contain no more—
The price he paid is on the floor.
Yes, this is gross, I won’t deny.
A nice—but so explosive guy.
