Our faces are the same.
And when you have a double,
You can play lots of silly games.
Like if Mum and Dad come home,
And someone’s smashed the TV,
Even if they have a witness,
You can say, ‘It wasn’t me!’
Or if you’re running a race,
You’re tired and coming last,
You can change runners halfway through;
Now you’re super-fast!
And you’re giving a good scare,
You can sneak up on someone
While you’re standing over there.
And if one of you is good at maths,
And the other not the best,
You can just swap your classes
If you have a tricky test.
But it’s hard to win an argument,
When someone looks exactly like you.
Insults like, ‘You’re ugly!’
Means that you’re ugly too!
But be careful how much you tease your twin,
How much you jeer and pinch and shout,
Because one of you is evil,
And if it’s not you …
WATCH OUT!
