A Single Pair…Not to Be Confused With a Pair of Singles

I decided to do some writing. Limericks always help prep and limber me up. They also make me realize that I think too much about the ridiculous… like how many pairs of things are really considered a single item… glasses, tweezers, binoculars… Thanks for that little trigger, Josie! 🙂

What do you do 

when a pair of you 

is only a single one?

Although a couple 

may insinuate double

It’s not, ’til the marriage is done.

 

And what’s under there? 

Is that underwear?

A pair of trousers is also as one.

Scissor blades also dual

A double-edged tool

There’s a pair just to get one job done.

 

In archery a pair

are two with a spare.

An extra arrow if one goes astray.

So one can be two 

or three, yes it’s true

A BUNCH of flowers can be a bouquet.

 

 um… is that a pair of shoes? Just sayin’.
