Homonym Carnival Rules

The aide will aid you right away
Names of guests are guessed today
Wines not allowed, don't whine aloud
Drop your watch and watch the crowd

Don't nod your head you may be gnawed
And still be still and not applaud
The band is banned to play Do- Wop
Don't break the brake or you won't stop

The course is coarse so hold on tight
That last phase may faze you tonight
A scent is sent for you to smell
Remove your rings to ring the bell

You will go forth at fourth by heck
If a herd is heard then hit the deck!

You have made this seem effortless, and there is no way in the world it could have been. I had to look back at the title to see what I was reading as it unfolded so skillfully!

Wow! Thank you Caren with a "C". Actually it took a while. Words that sound the same but have different meanings are fair fodder for someone who loves word play. I found a list of over 700, printed, and put them in a folder. Ammunition for a wise guy!! Nice to meet you and thank you so much for your wonderful comments!!...80)...pat
