Write a poem between 10 and 75 words correctly using as many homophones (eg. there, their, and they're; soul and sole, hear and here) as you can. Extra brownie points for the ones people seem to misuse the most! And. . . . Go!

America’s Energy

I look the part

Egyptian whore

Whose eyes

Are rimmed in kohl.

With aching back

And worn pick axe

I mine Kentucky coal.

It may be true

I raped the earth

To earn my master's gold.

I did it all

To earn my bread-

On the pitch for the rich, I goaled.

You label me a Gangster

Like I "chose" this destiny

But the O.G.

(Original Gangster)

To fear

Is America's "Inner G."
