Timothy Zhu Twin BrothersFrom schoolwork, to sandwich making My bother and I do everything mutually.
He grinds the tasty tuna into tenuous tittles, While I drill through the Spanish exercises.
I, weeping, chop the astringent onions, While he assembles the lab reports.
He culls the light-green lettuce, While I take care of the monotonous mathematical problem sets.
I heat the bread until it becomes crisp and crunchy, While he composes the essays.
He dices the slimy pickles, While I complete the history reading assignments.
He applies the slick, saliferous mayonnaise to the bread, While I take the Spanish tests.
I squeeze on the piquant mustard, While he takes the bio exams.
He spreads the tuna goo, While I show up to his history classes.
I pile on the colorful condiments, While he attends my English classes.
He cuts the sandwich, While I choose my half.
