Can and Able

They are brothers, Can and Able

Now Can isn’t able to do what Able can

But Able can do what Can can too

What becomes of them is a story

Which we can all tell if we are able to

Swati

Well it began with can and able meeting

neither and nor

and the pairing was something like

neither can and nor able

and the foursome was awesome

for all the plans they made it was

neither they can nor they were able to

Until one fine day they decided.......

Shobhna Ravi

Able was able to remain stable
While can became a big fan
Able tripped on a cable in a stable
And thus became a fable

Can got tired of being a fan
he got friendly with this wonderful man
can being can was himself a man
he's now part of the fable, he's a fairy !

There is usually sibling rivalry between brothers

So each claims the other he can out do

Lets consider each one's merits

Can can Can-can but is Able ably able to?

Marriage ties would able them,

to fulfill all the plans they made

and hence they entered wedlock

with neither can and nor able

and as the time slid by......

we had two more to keep it on.

So, now the family looked like this

neither can 'this'; nor able 'that'

four eccentrics and two little brats
