When I give my assent, it means I concur, but my rapid ascent means I fly like a bird. (I just
love homophones, don't you?)
I compliment you when I
say something kind, like your meal is superb and complements the wine. (Unless, of course, your food is talking to your wine, then you've had
too much to drink.)
News that is current is
fresh and brand new, but if I give you a currant, I have a raisin
for you. (Warm cinnamon buns with raisins—yum!)
A cursor
is the arrow on your computer screen, a curser likes swearing to say
what he means. (He won’t be invited to my tea party, I assure you.)
When
you're discreet, there are no news
releases, but when you're discrete, you've
gone all to pieces. (Try to keep it together, either way.)
If
you need help, you should elicit advice;
but for something illicit, you
should always think twice. (Or maybe thrice…)
A flair is
a talent you can boast about, but when tempers flare, you’d better
watch out. (Some people do have a flair for drama.)
A hanger
will keep your clothes wrinkle-free; a hangar is where your airplane
should be. (At least that’s where I keep mine.)
A hearty
meal is filling and good, but a hardy lumberjack can chop lots
of wood. (He’ll be ready for that hearty meal.)
When
something is humorous, you're having a ball, but injure
your humerus and it’s not funny at all. (I’d rather laugh than cry,
wouldn’t you?)
When
you incite trouble, you’re said
to foment, but have an insight and it's a eureka moment.(A
nice thought bubble beats causing trouble)
Someone
who knits makes something cozy and nice, but someone
with nits is infested with lice. (Heavens! I feel itchy just
thinking about it.)
A maze made
of maize is hard to navigate, but maize on a
cob means there’s corn on your plate. (Pass the butter, please.)
A medal of
honor is something you win, but meddle (the verb) means you like to
butt in. (I only meddle when grammar is at stake.)
A wave of my hand says ‘good-bye my
friend’, but I wouldn’t waive the chance to visit again. (Adieu, mon ami!)
