sad to see

the male twins

both so very plain

 

lank haired

loose lipped

short legged

wide hipped

 

and two of them

 

it seems so like sod’s law, just . . .

why can’t they both be gorgeous?

I can imagine how confusing it could be with gorgeous twins, of either gender. Too much of a good thing? Maybe :-) I loved the twist in your poem.

Thought provoking, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, no two things are the same in life.

My wife always says those pleated front trousers always make blokes look old.
