Class warfare using a seed and some wine

Here's a poem I wrote that uses two verses comprised of exactly the same letters in the same order:


Plantagenet, I call you the ardent wine. ‘Dounce’ plebby kindred.

Swill or dainties pass.

Able truth.


Plant a genetically outheard, entwined ounce (pleb) by kind reds.

Will ordain ties. Passable truth.

Invented by and named for Alexander Dounce, a Dounce homogeniser or "Douncer", is a cylindrical glass tube, closed at one end, with two glass pestles of carefully specified outer diameters, intended for the gentle homogenization of eukaryotic cells.
