Everyone Has a Twin

A woman stopped me
In the shopping mall
She said" How is Neil?"
I said "I do not know a Neil"
"Oh, I am sorry I thought
you were my cousin Jean"
"Everyone has a twin"
"You look like her".

Hello Paula, I was told I looked like a family member. I never met her. I think you have more than a twin. To bad you can not meet them. That would be wonderful. Hugs.

This is so possible, Darlene ! It is said that out of the whole of mankind, there are seven sets of people looking almost the same ! You have written this conversation in a very sweet way ! I enjoyed your 'enconter' at the mall

Hello Alakas, this has happened to me as well. A lady thought I was her friend's cousin. So we all have a twin somewhere. He really thought you were that person. Salute Darlene

I have always heard that everyone got a twin, but I never believed. Until I saw my twin walked past me In my street. Funny, I haven't seen him since then, even after a year of searching and waiting.:'( :'(

Darlene, I couldn't tell you how much I appreciated your poetry. Each person does have an identical twin. Do you find it surprising that frequently it is the case?
