Though my counterpart looks different from me
We have a certain equivalency

I might define a classical song
I can start off as short or long

Often, I collaborate with my peers
To bring different sounds to your ears

Often, when found at the ending
From me, you won’t hear a thing

One day in the army I was assigned KP duty. I reported to the Mess Hall and was told by the sergeant in charge that he wanted me to make 100 gallons of soup for tonight’s dinner. I told him I didn’t know how to make soup. He handed me a book and told me to follow the directions carefully.

A couple of hours later, I had a large kettle of soup simmering. The sergeant came up and tasted the soup. He took a second spoonful and stood there staring at me. I thought I had really messed up the soup and was waiting for a reprimand.

Instead, he said, “This tastes good… are you sure you followed the recipe?”
