Two Is Better Than One

Laurel & Hardy

Trying to get boxed pianos

Up & down

Sets of stairs.

Martin & Lewis

Splish-splashin’

Gobs of water

On an antediluvian-vaudevillian stage.

Lucy & Ethel

Wrapping chocolates,

Faster & faster & faster,

On a sadistically funny assembly line.

Penn & Teller

Pulling new magic out of old hats,

Along with laughs, blood, & moans,

Effervescently sublime.

One & One

Can be more than Two,

When they multiply, amplify & transmogrify

The prolongation of their talent by infinitely mirrored reflection.
