My head hurts!!

66 is a famous "Route" across America
66-15 is a horrible "rout" in a football game
regardless of who was favored

Traffic is "routed" around a pileup on I-75
However, 75-40 in the ACC title game means UNC has "routed" another poor, hapless group of souls

One's travel path between cities is the chosen "route"
But homes can be shifted off their foundations by the growth of an oak tree "root"

My grandmother raised her voice to the heavens because a pig "rooted" thru her okra and tomatoes

Yet she spoke of the strength of her faith,
and how deeply "rooted" it was
In this case, the same-spelled word is a thing both good and bad

My head hurts

Root/route
Rout/route
Rooted/routed/ rooted

My headache has grown
It's no wonder I failed an English class

Perhaps things would be simpler had I been born to a family who speaks Spanish
Or Zulu
