Fruit Or Orders
I am a word of two syllables,
But two meanings reside in us.
Though spelled differently, you might find,
The same that makes us two of a kind.
One is from a fruit, nut, or grain,
And when my shell is stuck, you might be in pain.
Then, one of us gives orders much,
And it can mean punishment and such.
Now, put together all you now know,
What are we? Do you know?
