Fascinating Paradox

It's a fascinating paradox
The way the keys don't fit the locks
Everything implies itself
But something's missing from the shelf

An idiom won't translate
Even from me to you
I sent a message cross the sea
It took a week or two

Oranges for breakfast, apples are for lunch
Berries grow in patches, bananas in a bunch

Some substances don't travel well
Even from you to me
You sent a package round the world
It took a week or three

Oranges for breakfast, apples are for lunch
Berries grow in patches, bananas in a bunch

It's a fascinating paradox
The way the keys don't fit the locks
Everything implies itself
But something's missing from the shelf
