Side by Side

Unrelated brothers
Destined together
On every table,
they reside

Black and White,
Side by side
Without them
No gastronomic ride

Gandhiji fought for one
Portugal and Spain
For the other
Ships sailed the seven seas
Many Kingdoms brought to their knees

At times priced over gold
At times freely sold
Good for the cold
You must have been told

Presenting, the duo
Envy of every spice
Salt and Pepper
Key to everything
that taste nice
