Janet or Susan?

Poem Artwork

I’ve been told since college.
But more of late.
You're the spittin' image.
There’s just no debate.

You’re a dead ringer!
Were you separated at birth?
Everyone has a twin.
“Is this a blessing or curse?”

I’ve been stopped in the mall,
and the car repair shop,
at the grocery store,
and in parking lots.

“So, what do I do?
How DO I engage in it?
Buy a red wig
and get me an agent?

“So that’s what I did.
Called a look-alike firm.
They said they could sell me
But I think I got burned.”

When people have parties.
When men have conventions
They want Britney Spears
and Jessica Simpson.

Nice conversation between your inner &
outer conscienceness. I have heard the phrase too of,
"We all have a double out there somewhere!" Me thinks perhaps
Judy T. is my double! (grin) we shall talk more.

Anyway, it was a most excellent poem Ron, in rhyme too!

Blimey, don't know who exactly she is, Janet, but in my opinion stick to the beautiful, original YOU!! Sorry - is this sacrilege?! Blame it on my British-ness! In my time I have been compared to Brigitte Bardot (by a Frenchman!!), Julie Christie, Anna Ford (BBC newsreader), Olivia Newton-John, Felicity Kendall and Yoko Ono...!!! Have you heard of any of these people??!! Do you NEED to?! Do they bear any resemblence to each other, even?! I think people are delusional... most often, people just think "they've met me before" because my face is "so familiar" - common, in other words! Gotta love this, Janet. Made me holler with delight! LOL Kate xx

If this is you in this photo it does look Sarandonish.
But than again I think the photo on your Bio page with you as a blond is more striking.

Peace

wow , I found my twin
while at the Police dept in New York
He happened to be a fireman also in New York
When I saw His picture
I could beleive it myself,
how much he looked so much like me
I thought it was me.

I'm an identical twin, and know just how you feel At least Susan is famous. You could play her double in dangerous stunts (driving a convertible into Grand Canyon) or nude scenes ... ;-)

Lol, you are lovely either way. People sometimes tell me I look like Barbara Walters at a younger age with red hair. One of my sons looks like Kid Rock, he is constantly signing autographs for people who will not believe him when he tells them he isn't! He says it's easier to give then what they want than to argue with them.

We all do seems to have a twin and mine seems to move in the same areas I do, however I have never met her, and I have moved a lot! Strange. Wonderful write with humor.

Lol... Sometimes there is just no accounting for taste. The resemblance is remarkable. All I ever get at the car repair shop, parking lots, etc… are brainless lines about knowing me from somewhere.

This is cute........but I am clueless here!!!
Who is she Janet? lol...maybe I don't watch
enough TV????

My twin and I have been friends since we were 16!
Our Moms became friends too,and our families celebrate
certain holidays together....she introduces me to everyone
as her cousin! LOL
When we were teens we looked more alike than we do now
but we still look like sisters. She is taller and lean,
and I am short and dumpy!(she was a model for yrs)

This is an adorable write.......ty for the smile!
be well..........A
