      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.' 

 Enid is blue on green; Edna’s deep red. 

 Enid’s an ABC; Edna’s a zed. 

 Enid’s respectable; Edna’s ill-bred. 

 Enid’s believable; Edna’s lost cred. 

 Enid’s progressive; to Drumpf Edna’s wed. 

 Enid is spirited; Edna’s quite dead. 

 Enid we celebrate; Edna we dread. 

 Each is our sib. (Best the rest's left unsaid.)  

     Herbert 

 Hoover, Herbert Marshall, Herbert 

 Asquith, Herbert Lom. Victor 

 Herbert, Justin Herbert, Mrs. 

 Walter Herbert ("Mom"). Edna 

 Ferber(t) would her blurb blurt. Baby 

 Gerber(t), please stay calm! (Dropp’d her 

 sherbert on the curb, hurt sev'ral 

 digits and her palm.)
