The Twins

She is developing to be a
real Butch of a Bitch. 
No, really. She may have
chewed up a feminist tract
in our library. Heaven knows,
her puppy teeth have relieved
themselves on so many
defenceless items in this
house. Not that her brother,
physically slighter than her
is an innocent by any
means of reckoning for
he gives an accounting of
his impish ways in tandem
with her. But when they
wrestle, and that's often,
he is on the defensive, she
on the triumphant offensive
standing over his protesting
prostate form. She effects
the canine version of catcalls
and incitements to mayhem.
He is the eager follower,
though to his credit when 
there's a challenge worthy
of standing fast and pulling
hard for possession of a
desired object, he gives a
full accounting of male pride.
Chivalrous? No. Resigned.
