They say;

half and Half,

quarter this, part That.

 

They ask;

What,

never Who.

 

They insist;

This looks Right,

but that must be Wrong.

 

They claim;

you are one of Us,

or you are one of Them.

 

I am no riddle, no puzzle,

not a problem to solve.

 

why not Double,

why not Whole?

why not Neutral,

why not All?
