More Than One

Quizmasters often test mentalities,

by asking folks to name pluralities,

of things of many different sorts.

Like soldiers can be called 'cohorts'.

There are 'flights' of geese and jets and stairs,

and socks are sometimes found in 'pairs'.

Young ladies curls are massed in 'bangs',

and crooks unite themselves in 'gangs'.

Such gangs can join to form a 'mafia',

but alas that only rhymes with 'raffia'.

Apes, you'd know, can make a 'shrewdness',

could rednecks joined become a 'rudeness'?

And though Collingwood fans are two a penny,

more than none is 'Too Bloody Many'.
