For Brides We Barely Knew

green chiffon prom dresses for my identical twin and myself
Spent most of the summer of seventy, not on a hanger or shelf
First there was prom, but then we were in a wedding or two
Ending up being bridesmaids for brides we barely knew

This is what happens when everyone wants twins in their wedding
Those green chiffon dresses we barely were shedding
We finally started offering to share the dresses with others
No. They want identical twins too, said the brides' insistent mothers.
