What to Name the Twins

 

By Elton Camp

 

Rachel was astonished when the doctor detected

She was carrying twins that she hadn’t expected

“But please get ready for a real hassle, my dear,

They’re both boys according to the sonogram here.”

 

Selecting two names then became her main concern

From baby name books Rachel tried hard to learn

“Names I’d like somewhat related for them to be,

So that they’re twins all can hear as well as see.”

 

Matthew and Mark or perhaps Luke and John?

Or maybe some other combination’s more fun

Since it was at Microsoft Rachael earned her pay

An inspiration struck her in a very different way

 

She called to her husband to deliver the good news

She knew the most appropriate names to choose

“I know what I’ll do,” Rachel shouted with haste

That’s how she came to name them “Copy and Paste”
