Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Double Up

A woman gave birth to twin sons.
She couldn't give them proper care,
So put them up for adoptions.
It was in both boys' best welfare.
One went to Egypt, one to Spain.
Their new names were Amal and Juan.
The woman sometimes felt the pain
Of knowing that her sons were gone.
Years later, Juan sent his picture
To the mother he never knew.
It made maternal juices stir.
She wanted one of Amal too.

But then she happened to recall,
"Once you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal."
