Regarding the Attraction of Opposites, It's Touch 'n' Go: a Ritmus in Rime

With Eb 'n' Flo, to is fro, 
stop is go 'n' yes is no. 
Sis is bro, feu est l’eau, 
vrai est faux 'n' joy is woe.

With Eb 'n' Flo, pimp is ‘ho,’
suck is blow 'n' high is low.
Wane is grow, fox is crow,
rich is po' 'n' fade is glow.

With Eb 'n' Flo, am is pro, 
Jenny's Joe 'n' quid's pro quo.
Shemp is Moe, paid is owe,
sigma's rho 'n' catch is throw.
With Eb 'n' Flo, fast is slow,
shove is tow 'n' trot is "whoa."
Gross is beau, err is know,
win is show...and, yes: ebb's flow...

...plus (as is shown here)
less is mo.'
