The Twins

They grow so alike
In form and features,face and limb
Both looks tall and slim
They are john and mike

It puzzled kith and kin
Not a soul knows which
But waits on nature to teach
Which is which among the twin

This fatal likeness  of two brother
When there is an offence
causes confusion and argument,hence
one is mistakenly flogged for another
