I didn’t see your post until now. . .but I got it 😃

But they’re cousins,  
Identical cousins all the way.  
One pair of matching bookends,  
Different as night and day.

Where Cathy adores a minuet,  
The Ballet Russes, and crepe suzette,  
Our Patty loves to rock and roll,  
A hot dog makes her lose control –  
What a wild duet!

Here’s the story. I thought it had to do with trying to pin the murder on the other twin, but I was mistaken. Still pretty interesting, though: [http://www.answers.com/topic/han-twins-murder-conspiracy](http://www.answers.com/topic/han-twins-murder-conspiracy)
