James Whitcomb Riley - The TwinsJames Whitcomb Riley - The Twins
Work rating: Low


One `s the pictur` of his Pa,   And the _other_ of her Ma--   Jes the bossest pair o` babies `at a mortal ever saw!   And we love `em as the bees   Loves the blossoms of the trees,   A-ridin` and a-rompin` in the breeze!   One`s got her Mammy`s eyes--   Soft and blue as Apurl-skies--   With the same sort of a smile, like--Yes,               and mouth about her size,--   Dimples, too, in cheek and chin,   `At my lips jes _wallers_ in,   A-goin` to work, er gittin` home agin.   And the _other_--Well, they say   That he`s got his Daddy`s way   O` bein` ruther soberfied, er ruther extry gay,--   That he either cries his best,   Er he laughs his howlin`est--   Like all he lacked was buttons and a vest!   Look at _her_!--and look at _him_!--   Talk about yer "Cheru-_bim_!"   Roll `em up in dreams together, rosy arm and chubby limb!   O we love `em as the bees   Loves the blossoms of the trees,   A-ridin` and a-rompin` in the breeze!
