Two Sisters, One Man
Two sisters, one man-
Well-tricked for his trickery,
Jacob gained two wives.
Two sisters, one man-
One weak-eyed and unwanted;
One was beautiful.
Two sisters, one man-
In love he wept for Rachel,
For sons loved Leah.
Two sisters, one man-
Mandrakes, sex bartered in hopes
Both would feel equal.
