Seeing Double

Double the trouble, double the work

Double the formula, double the perk.

Double the pleasure, double the fun,

Double the challenge, when there’s more than just one.

Triple the double, triple the twin,

Triple the pair the Nursey lets in.

Isabelle/Thandi, Darlene & Jerrine

Now Moses & Marmen are here on the scene.

Triple the blessing, triple the fun,

Three sets of twins are funner than one.

Two sets are sisters, one set is boys,

(The first in our history, which explains all the noise.)

We’re now seeing double wherever we look

So are the nannies and so is the cook.

It’s not like sextuplets; it’s not quite the same.

Still it bodes giving thanks in God’s loving name.
