Another alliterative example ...
Authors' Note: Birds and bees is an alliterative binomial phrase used here in a euphemistic sense. The counterintuitive fact that MENses are a female function could make this poem a companion-piece to the authors' verse on gender-neutral language.
To review the poetic effusion that we have accumulated about binomial phrases, proceed to our blog "Edifying Nonsense", and check out the post 'Grandpa Greg's Grammar: Binomial Expressions'.
Click HERE !There is also an entire collection of lyrics to patter songs, somewhat older material, dedicated to various kinds of binomials, that provides more didactic material and an extensive series of examples, and allows you to sing these expressions for your own enjoyment, or for that of others around you.

A personal INVITATION: Come along, and enjoy our upcoming trip to California, starting tomorrow !!!
