Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Lucky Orangutan Mama

Orangutan mama had more babies than most.
She had twins, a premonition given to her in the form of a ghost.
Why two? She asked, concerned it would not be fair.
But the soothsaying spirit disappeared into air.

Orangutan mama loved her twins now of course.
She was fortunate to have two, but one ate like a horse.
She knew he was going to be much larger than his sis.
She loved them to pieces, her Little Mister and Miss.

L Milton Hankins March 2, 2022 at 9:39 AM An endearing poem, Caren. I thought about how your momma must have felt when she had identical twin girls! Caren Krutsinger March 2, 2022 at 7:56 PM She was in the hospital fighting for her life - she was there two months after we left, and we were there for two or three months. It was a hard time. The doctor asked my father if they were Catholic, because he wanted a priest to come and give her the last rites after we were born. Her blood would not clot.
