Symmetry

Two parts worth a share
Two shares, without a care
Two cares, feelings laid bare
Two bears, load lighter fare
Two fares, frugality must pair
Two pairs, progeny in lair
Two lairs, income to spare
Two spares, equity to declare
Two declares, faithful in prayer
Two prayers, escape temptation's snare

Hi Stephen, so glad you enjoyed Lady Lemming. Yes, it was a complicated relationship. I want to thank you for using the word 'panoply'. That's the very word I was trying to remember the other day. It looks like the muse sent it to me through you. I like the word play you did in "Symmetry" (above).
