Congratulations to this week’s winner  Sen99

 

Disambiguation

 

When sinking in the mire
Water muddy with confusion
Meaning disappears into a black swamp
Redundant words drown in brain fog
Uncertain ground too soft to stand on

When you struggle with meaning
Look at a loved one’s face
Study their facial muscles
Lips pursed, the nose upturned
The eyes have it,
The smile knows it.

Don’t look for a clear explanation
Instead try anti disambiguation
And if you know what that means
Then climb a mountain of baked beans
All those 57 varieties,
Each one the same bloody bean!
