Twins Poem by Douglas Scotney
Twins
Rating: ★5.0
The French say jumeau for twin and twins
though their latter has an x on the end;
the Germans say Tsvilling and Tsvillinge
with the e said like an uh.
For twin a Roman said geminus
and a Greek said didymos.
Twins were didymi and gemini,
and the former were affectionate orchii*.
