Costume For Two
Here’s for partners , both who are thin,
A costume they both can fit in.
I’ll explain now for you
The first thing you can do:
Find some trousers gargantuan!
And since one pair of pants must fit two,
You’ll each need to place both your legs through
Just one side of those pants
As you do a strange dance
‘Cause you’ll be stuck together like glue.
While walking, your steps must be small
And synchronized; else you will fall.
Get a baggy shirt too
For your partner and you.
No, you won’t be a prince at a ball!
For you’ll be there on Halloween Eve,
Each of you using only one sleeve.
With the other arm free,
Out of view it will be.
So what look will you try to achieve?
With two heads and one body you’ll be
The event’s curiosity!
But it’s all about show.
From that costume I know
You’ll be dying to get yourself free.
