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. moo (noun): the throat
noise of a cow; (verb): to make the throat noise of a cow
2. moue (noun): a little
grimace, pout
She liked to moo as sunset
fell,
And she could moo so very
well—
Accompanied by that thick bell
That Farmer Jones put round her neck.
A bull he owned—his name was Beck—
Just loved that moo—made Beck
a wreck
Emotionally. But what to do
To get to hear that magic moo
For all of time? And this is true:
Beck eased up next to her one day,
Revealed his feelings (it was May).
Her moue was better than
sweet hay.
They formed a pair there on the farm—
He had the power; she had charm.
He kept her from the smallest harm.
And so they lived throughout their days—
With moos and moues, their love ablaze—
Reminding some of Shakespeare plays.
(The happy ones.)
