Write Your Own Poem
by Will Stanton.
There is a land to all men known
Where nothing ever stands alone.
Where things are always “something and”
Connected by an ampersand.
Cup & saucer, north & _ _ _ _ _
Dun & Bradstreet, hoof & _ _ _ _ _
Rough & ready, curds & _ _ _ _
Bag & baggage, Bob & _ _ _
Off & running, neck &_ _ _
Black & Decker, hunt &_ _ _ _
Cloak & dagger, bill &_ _ _
Fair & warmer, me &_ _ _
High & mighty, push &_ _ _ _
Lea & Perrins, cock &_ _ _ _
One & only, pick &_ _ _ _ _ _
Horse & buggy, P’s &_ _ _
Come & get it, touch &_ _
Up & at ‘em, yes &_ _
Toil & trouble, ways &_ _ _ _ _
Tar & feathers, pork &_ _ _ _ _
Bread & butter, love &_ _ _ _ _ _
Drunk & disorderly, Mr. &_ _ _
Trial & error, heaven &_ _ _ _
Death & taxes, hail &_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

OK I got some of them- but are you gonna fill in the_ _ _ _?
Nope. The Reader's Digest, which originally published Will Stanton's poem, did not.
I think you can figure them out by the rhyming words. Let me know if any are too difficult.
