“Twice as Sad”
A gloomy scenario for a two-headed boy on Christmas day.
Twice as Sad
a poem by Ira Mowen


It was the coldest
winter since his birth
day; the two headed
boy, and his name was
Jay.

Sadly he only had one
name, and his parents
are the ones to blame.

Like his pants, bike,
and sleeping pad, Jay
had to share everything
he ever had.

But when Santa came
this time to town, all
he brought were two
small frowns.

As the wrapping paper
lay, 'twas this
Christmas Jay’s saddest
day, with only one
beanie for him, no,
they.
