Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

I Beg To Differ, Please

A literati once told me
    the difference between a peasant
      and a pheasant is only 'H'

  I replied, the difference between
    symbols and cymbals is known only
      by 'a' literati 'ess,' you 'c'
  ~ as I crashed those cymbals in front of he

Sara Kendrick November 12, 2022 at 4:17 AM I like the creative way that you explained the difference in the words that sound alike but have different meanings and spellings. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
