From what I can remember of the Oxford Book of Children's Verse, a number of old rhymes were commentary on court. One in particular, about a deck of cards, was particularly scathing.

"I'll sleep when I'm dead."

Very true, but as Sgt Colon put it, they don't bring you a cup of tea.

My sibling used to say when Bartolo Colon was a pitcher for our local team that his last name was pronounced the same as the body part... I recalled that when Katie Couric had hers examined on TV.

Only lately have I begun to have problems with words in similar ways.

For starters, the word "up". When you "wake up", you're more active than you were before hand, more senses alive, etc. However, in the Winter, if you're awake & wish to go anywhere, you need to "button up" or "bundle up", making more of you covered & invisible to those around you.

But if you're very uptight, you may be advised to loosen up. Eventually, you'll find you have no idea which end is down.

Down is the way your feelings go when people post things that are clearly failed attempts to upset you, when the proper reaction would have been for them to shut up.

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
We could flow among the stars, together you and I

For we can fly, up, up and away
(For we can fly)
In my beautiful, my beautiful balloon
