Looks Can Fool You, 19


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.
