Two lovely berries moulded on one stem...

What's cuter than one baby?
A precious set of twins!
With matching little outfits -
And matchless little grins...

They'll bring your family.

Two faces to wash, and four dirty hands
Two insistent voices, making demands
Twice as much crying, when things go wrong
The four eyes closing, with slumber song
Twice as many garments, blowing on the line
Two cherubs in the wagon, soaking up sunshine
Work I do for twins, naturally comes double
But four arms to hug me, repay all my trouble.
~Author Unknown

There's two who argue, two who cry....
There's two to kiss, two to hug;
And best of all, there's two to love!

And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.
