Daughters Lost

My daugthers Kate and Niamh (Neve) are great They're different if you please Ones a driven climber the other takes life at ease Kate the elder can shake and melder Till you give in at last she cannot wait to grow up mate And party at your flat The cooler Niamh street wise at ease Has money and saves a lot Don't buy that dress I'll keep this mess and wash the dirty blot The party girl a temper whirl poor daddy is a wretch He'll pay one day I'll get my way I think it's evident Niamh the one who'll save the day her money stacked away When Katy's spent she'll nag and vent For Niamh to pay her way Dear Girls I say come back one day To me I'm good to say I'll balance you out without a doubt My love goes all the way.

They sound a bit like my children. I have a set of "mirror" twins, meaning totally opposite in looks, character and the works. I had me a good time rearing two creatures so different in makeup. I'm enjoying reading you, Ian. Good going. :-)
