Subject: RE: Origins: Two sons were brothers
My father used to sing this song to amuse his three daughters. His version was;
There was a man who had two sons and these two sons were brothers.
Josephus was the name of one Bohankus was the other.
Now these two sons had suits of clothes and they did wear them well.
Josephus he to Elwood went, Bohankus went to...Eustis.

Elwood and Eustis were two small town in central Nebraska close to where we lived.
