those young years
I spent trying
not to be him;
now, in photos, me
with the same stern jaw

Inevitable described in a very humorous way. I liked it.

[Pam]

Amen. I thought I must be adopted when younger but now I see my mother each time I look in the mirror.

beautiful

[Bill Kenney]

Ah, there's no getting away from it.

But you don't have to do the same things with your jaw that he did with his.

Very good, Janet

Nature is pretty uncanny, isn't it?:)
