June sixth, Cathryn Edna, you opened cute eyes
To see Harold and Ethel watch YOU with surprise!
They expected. a darling, like you, true–and yet
It was some disconcerting: they’d got ’em a set!
Your dad looked at mother, and thoughtfully cooed:
“Twice as much Yak-ing*, and twice as much food!”
He was kidding, of course, but you’ll show the old son:
Twins’re twice as much trouble–and twice as much fun!
*You get this naturally! Ask mother about the time she talked to me for an hour-and-a-half on the ‘phone!
