I memorized and recited this poem in 8th grade, and recited in front of my English class.26 years later, by total coincidence, my wife had girl-boy twins. I can still recite it for my grandchildren!

I am an identical twin (aged 94) . When I was 16 I had a date with my boyfriend. I couldn't keep it as I had a terrible cold so I sent my twin to explain to him. However she pretended she was me and he took her out, not knowing the difference. When I next saw him I was furious!

I am a twin and I recited The Twins in primary school in New Zealand in the fifties. I Immigrated to Canada and am living in Toronto with my wife who is also a twin. So this poem is a fun piece for us.

I first read this poem when I was 7 years old. I memorized it and drove my family nuts reciting it. Sixty one years later it still makes me smile. It was in a book called Favorite poems old and new.

When I was eight years old my 3rd grade teacher asked us to memorize a poem of our own choosing to recited for class. The other kids picked short poems. I recited The Twins. I found it in a book somewhere and tho I lost the book, I never forgot the poem. I also grew up and married a twin.
