JAN 22, homophonous verse: bypassed glitches

  a) Reprise of material posted on January 22 in previous years ...

2020: American satire, laying blame (poem)
2021: anagram swarm, ELECTION-FRAUD contest, other national entries (wordplay maps) 
2022: neologism, classic, snafus (illustrated poem)
2023: poets' corner, noun-verb contractions (poem)
2024: unusual wildlife, Toronto (photo-collage)

To access the details of any item in slide format, type its title, as displayed above in red font (e.g. ... snafus) into one of the two search bars at the the top of your blog-page. Underneath the slides for each entertaining delight that you discover, you will find a clickable link that lets you easily explore a more widespread collection of wonderments (verse, photos, wordplay, song-lyrics etc.) on the topic of your choice. 

b) Today's Offering (Jan 22, 2025): 



Authors' Note: Of course, the concept that bribes would be of benefit to authors submitting to OEDILF is patently nonsensical. There are a certain number of identity rhymes that appear in the database of edited verses there. The prosaic explanation, however, is that these bypassed initial glitches, being rather subtle in comparison with other flaws, are often under-observed and overlooked.

You can view our whole collection on this topic -- verses intentionally crafted with contentious repetition of the rhyming syllables --  in a wider context on our full-service blog "Edifying Nonsense". Check the post "Homophonous Verse" by clicking HERE
