Analysis of A Homophone Story



Whether or not the weather is nice,
Please don't wear your slippers where
You're at because it's my advice
Your good name will lose its share

Of honor with people who meet
At restaurants near eight
Because of love for every meat
With every meal they ate.

Please go for a scenic walk,
Then go at four o'clock
To another place that will serve deer.
The kind you'll love my dear!
