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

29: house

He lived there in a house bizarre—

A place to house his antique car—

I think it once had been a bar.

The smell of alcohol was keen—

He loved that part—but unforeseen?

The part that was a bit obscene?

That very smell would make him drunk—

As drunk as that most fabled skunk—

He’d hit the floor—an awful thunk!

This happened every single day—

Until his brain complained, cried, “Hey!

You’re killing me! Just move—today!”

And so he did—let me explain—

A house that smelled just like cocaine.

And so the dude went pure insane!
