Looks Can Fool You, 13

het·ero·nym

Noun: one of two or more homographs [words that are spelled the same]
that differ in pronunciation and meaning
(such as a bass voice and bass, a fish)
First Known Use: circa 1889

13: content

Oh, she could never be content
With new books that she read.
She hated plots—their twists and turns
Just scrambled up her head.

And content was an issue, too—
Some subjects she abhorred.
Though (truth be told) there were some books
Whose stories she adored.

She loved those vampire books (the ones
With Bella and E. C.).
And Harry Potter turned her on—
But only decently.

And so, content, she read for years—
Until one day near dawn
A loving vampire bit her neck,
And then her life was on!
