Jeff Kyser Poet Rhyme

Cousins

Identical
Fantastical
Twin brothers sought
Twin sisters caught
And tied the knot(s)

Poetical
Noetical
But we’re not done
Each had a bun
Each was a son

Familial
Genetical
Their DNA
Would brothers say
But records? Nay,

Cousins!

----------

A strange story: identical twin brothers met identical twin sisters at a conference, got married, each had a baby boy, and now, all live in the same house. The boys, though first cousins, have DNA that would normally indicate they were siblings. Truth is stranger than fiction!

Alexis Y. February 23, 2022 at 8:33 AM Hi Jeff, I heard of a story similar to this one. Maybe they are the same. They are double cousins. But like said although they are first cousins their DNA would read like siblings. I agree, this truth is stranger than fiction. I enjoyed the read. Have a nice day-Alexis

L Milton Hankins February 23, 2022 at 8:12 AM I read this story, too, Jeff, and you have told it well in your poem. Strange, but true, eh?
