Looks Can Fool You, 52


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

52: record

He set a record—did you hear?
The most books read, a single year.

So we record that stunning feat—
This record will be tough to beat.

And he won’t beat it (sad to say)
His brain blew up that final day.

It simply could contain no more—
The price he paid is on the floor.

Yes, this is gross, I won’t deny.
A nice—but so explosive guy.
