O Brother, Where Art Thou?


Perhaps any chore

Is less of a bore,

   A less demanding grind,

If taken by two,

(A someone and you),

   With faculties combined.

 

While there have been others

Who labored as brothers, –

   The Gershwins come to mind,

Just what predetermines

Success like the Shermans'

    Has never been defined. –


Is dividing a task

An easier ask

    When done by two of a kind?

Does the job to be done

Gain elements of fun

    When the DNA's aligned?
