Wordsmith
He manufactures, word by word,
sentences that are absurd.
Each construct is a little joke—
an irony or equivoque.
If you wish, I’ll let you know
when he’s ready to stage a show.
I guarantee, his recitation
is sure to win your approbation.
Making each word serve as two
is something that he’s driven to do.
Each double-entendre an education
in the art of revelation:
one meaning clear to any child,
the other more obscure and wild.
Thus does a punster get his fix
by stirring up a wicked mix:
a word cocktail whose piquancy,
cleverness and frequency
in any form or any guise
promises a rare surprise.
So come with me and in two winks
my friend will tell you what he thinks—
his discourse rare and smart and funny,
acerbic and right on the money!!!
Today’s prompt words are manufacture, construct, revelation and equivoque (an expression capable of having more than one meaning; a pun.) Here are the links:

Absolutely love the word mix in this one — equivoque onward. So pleasing to the ear and the mind at once.

Is this a real person or a dream, Judy?

Nope. He’s imaginary. Perhaps he’s my muse????

Male muse? Why not; those Ancient Greeks were openly gender-neutral and open to everything.
