What To Name the Twins

What to Name the Twins

By Elton Camp

Rachel was astonished when the doctor detected
She was carrying twins that she hadn’t expected
“But please get ready for a real hassle, my dear,
They’re both boys according to the sonogram here.”

Selecting two names then became her main concern
From baby name books Rachel tried hard to learn
“Names I’d like somewhat related for them to be,
So that they’re twins all can hear as well as see.”

Matthew and Mark or perhaps Luke and John?
Or maybe some other combination’s more fun
Since it was at Microsoft Rachel earned her pay
An inspiration struck her in a very different way

She called her husband to deliver the good news
She knew the most appropriate names to choose
“I know what I’ll do,” Rachel shouted with haste
That’s how she came to name them “Copy and Paste”
