The pair of them were just like two peas in a pod <br />Although one was light of step and the other heavy trod <br />If you didn't know better you'd say that they were twins <br />Except one carried a constant scowl and the other a permanent grin <br /> <br />I couldn't believe how they were so very, very alike <br />Even if one had skin of ebony and the other almost white <br />If you used them to play cards, you'd be yelling out snap <br />It didn't matter that one was a refined lady and her partner a burly chap <br /> <br />When they looked across the table, it must be like seeing a reflection <br />Although one was grossly deformed and the other sheer perfection <br />They were two carbon copies, and one was certainly no slouch <br />Although the other was a potato of the variety couch <br /> <br />I always used to struggle in telling them apart <br />Except one had quiet bowels and the other inclined to fart! <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia 2010)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-clones-humour/
