Leaving My Dna

I leave DNA here, there and the other.
In fingernail clippings and hair of my brother.
If there's a murder, we'll be in trouble.
Especially me, for I have a twin double.

If you leave your DNA, I want to save it for my children and grandchildren to acquire your sprightly spirits Caren !

Good one, Caren. I'm wondering (and I really don't know) whether you and your twin have the exact same DNA?

Yes we are IDENTICAL twins which means our egg started out as one person, and when the egg split, our DNA was also identical.

Love the concrete imageries. Awesome catharsis!

Exactly! We have a twin silent laugh that goes on for hours and scares the rest of the relatives.
