Additional Details

An unusual souvenir of one of the twins' concert. On the reverse, the twins speak in first person: 'I was born. . . ' But most interesting is the long poem that follows, signed [in print] by the twins.:
T 'is not modest of oneself to speak But daily scanned from head to feet I freely talk of everything Sometimes to persons wondering Some people say I must be two The Doctors say it is not true Some cry out humbug till they see And then exclaim 'Great Mystery.'
