Homophonic transformations, Part Two

Some of you may remember my post of June 25, 2012, “Owe Joey! Ode Ill Height!”, in which we played around with words after the manner of Howard L. Chace’s book, Anguish Languish. Some of you may be trying desperately to wipe the memory of it from your brain.

Well, I’m in the mood to do it again.

I hope you are too.
