PAIRS
(to the tune of "Words")
Pairs - binomial phrases. There's (bi-NOAM-yuhl)
(Compared to single entities)
Flair, as seen in "wear and tear",
Where pairs submerge identities.
Two nouns joined with conjunction --
AND serves that "form and function", sometimes OR.
Verb-pairs and adjectives unite;
And "fish" and "fowl" with NEITHER/NOR.
"Shouts and murmurs": such a phrase
Explains the "ins and outs" to me.
With "back to front" I'm in a daze,
Enhancing "fears and doubts" to me.
I cringe at "one and only" words,
No single words I voice ...
So "near and dear",
So "near and dear",
Word-pairs are what can make all "guys and dolls" rejoice.
