I Get 'Em Confused

Barney Frank and Bernie Sanders.
One’s a crank and one meanders.
Both loathe drama – Shaw’s, Menender’s.
Bernie Frank and Barney Sanders.

Barnie Fracken; Burney Sand.

The one burns bright; the other’s bland.
And both (please don’t misunderstand)
are li’ble to get out of hand.

Sandor Frankel; Barnhard Burns.

One backs burial in urns
and plumps for stuff the other spurns.
Both would teach, though neither learns.

Sandy "Frank" Byrne, barberer --

in former life an arborer,
though now of thieves a harborer --
believes that sandstone's far from fur. 

Pebbles Flintstone; Edward Carnes.

One unravels; t’other darns –
and neither gathers into barns.
(But aren't you sick 'n' tired of yarns…?)
