Time
for more instances of the homophone:
a word pronounced the same as another but differing in
meaning, whether spelled the same way or not, as heir and air.
1. incidents (noun): pl. of incident—an
unexpected and usually unpleasant thing that happens
2. incidence (noun): the number of times something happens or
develops; occurrence
The incidence of incidents
Was soon alarming everyone—
From governors and
presidents
To Goth and Roman—even Hun.
These UFOs were everywhere—
Yes, north and south and
east and west.
And every single grizzly
bear
Thought hibernation might be
best.
In unison the aliens
Emerged from their huge
saucer-craft
“We are Episcopalians,”
They said. Oh, were these
creatures daft?
The grizzly bears came out
again—
It seemed much safer to them
now.
The aliens said one “Amen”
And spun away—we’re not sure
how.
It seems they were afraid of
bears—
So when they saw what they
could see,
The said their very
frightened prayers
And flew back to their
galaxy.
