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. carat (noun): a unit for measuring the weight of jewels
2. caret (noun): a wedge-shaped mark made on written or printed matter
to indicate the place where something is to be inserted
3. carrot (noun): the long orange root of a plant that is eaten as a
vegetable
4. karat (noun): measure of weight of gold
A single carat—that’s enough
To stir us to to some theft
of stuff.
A single carrot—that’s enough
To make me act a little
gruff.
A single caret—that’s enough
To make me know rough drafts
are rough.
A single karat—that’s enough
To stir us to some theft of
stuff.
