| Суслик выскочил из норки
И спросил у рыжей норки:
— Где вы были?
— У лисички.
— Что вы ели там?
— Лисички.
Compose or find on the Internet similar English poems playing upon homophones and homographs. (Make sure they are not polysemantic words, though!) Provide each homophone with a matching word spelled differently in parenthesis.

| Lisa's Cats
Lisa had a blue cat
Who blew inside her hat.
Lisa had eight other cats,
Who often ate lots of rats.
The cats made a big mess one day,
And then the maid began to say,
"You have too many cats!
Two on your head
And seven under your bed!"
Now Lisa knows all this
So she topped her nose and said
"Hey Miss! My dear maid,
Everything you say is true
So I'll trade my nine cats for nine deer thats what I'll do!"
blue-blew
eight-ate
made-maid
too-two
knows-nose
dear-deer

| Hear the boat CREAK in the CREEK
where the water flow was WEAK for a WEEK
I couldn't set SAIL for the SALE
but I was not ready to fail
see, my WHOLE boat is full of HOLES
when it SEES the SEAS it always rolls
I can see THEIR boats over THERE
so I just stand on the STAIR and STARE
I wish TO be out there sailing TOO
there's something DUE that I must DO
I don't KNOW how to say NO
never say NOT and let the KNOT go
creak - creek
weak - week
sail - sale
whole - hole
sees - seas
their - there
stair - stare
to - too
due - do
know - no
not - knot

| it's getting scarier by the HOUR
OUR world will never see PEACE
PIECE by piece we're overpowered
overpowering us as our fears increase
hour - our
peace - piece
-----------------------------
What if inanimate objects feel as I do? Does the MOWN meadow MOAN? Does the aged WINE WHINE? What if every night the GROWN lily, tired of her solitude, GROANS?

| Miss Homophone ate
Eight oranges
And a pair of pears
And with a brisk gait
She walked through the gate,
Got into her car
And rode down the road.
This scene I have seen
But I am not allowed
To say this aloud,
So I'd better write it right
ate - eight
pair-pear
gait-gate
roe-road
scene-seen
allowed-aloud
write-right

| We sit idle as hatred BREWS
BRUISED by the war torn SCENE
SEEN as only pawns to lose
losing all of our hopes and dreams
BREWS - BRUISED
SCENE - SEEN

| I feel like a MIST
MISSED by the gently kissed
Not seen by the loving eye
I blow away and I drift
It's hard to find PEACE
PIECE by piece, I fall apart
I SOAR to release
Every SORE on my heart
I SEE the SEA
There's comfort in my fall
As I SINK in SYNC
I am a part of it all
MIST - MISSED
PEACE - PIECE
SEE - SEA
SINK - SYNC
----------------------
She loved to READ he secret messages of the wind in the whisper of the REED There was a boat with a SAIL on the water, on the side of which "for SALE was written in large red letters. On her slender WAIST there was a wonderful belt, on which a lot of fabric was WASTED.

| Conversations about the HEIR to the throne hung in the AIR. For a WEEK, the rumor about how WEAK the king was did not subside. The people could only PRAY not to become a PREY to the king's son, known for his cruelty and emotional instability. Everyone was afraid of the future REIGN of the prince, who can't even REIN himself, let alone the whole kingdom. From the lack of the RIGHT to choose the next king, people just had to wait for the coronation RITE. After the king's death, the SCENE of the king's son's coronation was the sorriest thing that could be SEEN. In SUM, SOME citizens could not even hold back tears from the fact that they had to obey a tyrant who was completely unlike his wonderful, soft-hearted and loving father.

2. Have you ever seen this scene?
3. Would you like to wand in the wood with me? [?]
4. You are the sole who understands me cause our souls feel each other.

| He was starving, so he ATE EIGHT chunks of meat. He reached for the ninth, but was distracted by a MAID who came in and informed him that the cook had also MADE cherry pie for dessert. «DEAR Lucy, that's wonderful, but I haven't finished the DEER yet», - he said and tackled the last piece of meat.
