Excerpt from The Siamese Twins, and Other Poems

IS common to speak of things in pairs A pair of eyes or a pair of stairs; And a pair of legs the stairs may climb, With a pair of trousers for sake of rhyme; A pair of gloves, and a pair of shoes, The hands' and feet to match if you choose; A pair of scissors; a pair of bellows; A pair of capital jolly fellows; A pair of pigeons, a pair of wings And pairs of numerous other things; But the pair with which my lay begins Is that singular dual, Original plural, Known round the world as the Siamese Twins.
