In form and feature, face and limb, I grew so like my brother, That folks got taking me for him, And each for one another. It puzzled all our kith and kin, It reached a fearful pitch; For one of us was born a twin, a Yet not a soul knew which. One day, to make the matter worse, Before our names were fixed, As we were being washed by nurse, We got completely mixed; And thus, you see, by fate's decree, Or rather nurse's whim, My brother John got christened me, And I got christened him.

Rhyme Scheme: ‘ababcdcd’
Figures of Speech: Alliteration, consonance, hyperbole, interrogation, inversion, pun, and repetition
