Eggs come by the dozen

Except the kind frozen ...

Muffins are packed in halfs ...

(At least. the English kind are) 



Some shirts come in groups

Vests - the kind with loops

Which ride on your shoulders

Giving underlay to the colder



T-shirts come in two and three packs

Some come in various colors, stacked

Briefs often do, too, - even in four-sets

At twenty dollars a pop - quite a get ...



Normally, tho' - outer shirts don't come in sets

They're sold, usually, one at a time - a better bet

Unless you choose to put them all on lay-a-way ...

Then they're boxed till the time when you can pay!
