Are They Twins

Are They Twins? By Elton Camp To moms with children the same age This foolish question can bring rage Some irritating, grinning woman begins “Oh, how cute--tell me, are they twins?” “No, I found the extra kid in the parking lot And on an impulse, I thought, “Why not?” But, if in that town, the mother does live It’s better a more courteous answer to give “Yes, this is Meg and that one Bill” She will then question it further still Names the inquiry cannot forestall “Are they identical,” she will call “No, not quite,” the amused mom will snort “He’s coaxial cable, but she’s USB port.”
