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
19. convict
The jury quickly did convict
That guy who often slyly tricked
Naïve and careless people, who
Refused to think (you know the crew).
So now he is a convict, Yo,
And has so many years to go
Before he strides out of his cell
And straight into the fires of hell.
