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. might (noun): power to do
something; force or strength; (verbal auxiliary): used in auxiliary function to
express permission, liberty, probability, possibility in the past, or a present
condition contrary to fact, etc. (past of may)
2. mite (noun): any of
numerous small acarid arachnids that often infest animals, plants, and stored
foods and include important disease vectors; a small coin or some of money; a
very little bit
He thought that he would use his might
To crush that noxious little mite
Whose goal if life was bite, bite, bite!
He might have had a better
plan
Than smash himself (not bright was Dan).
He used a hammer. Now he can
Not think too well (he smashed his head)—
And people look at him with dread.
His wife confines him to the shed,
Where, sadly, there are many mites,
Against whom Dan has many fights
Right after he turns out the lights.
