No two snowflakes are alike. That's what we learned in our science books. And we believed it. But what if it's not really true? This is the sad tale of a snowflake who set out in quest of her identical twin.
There once was a snowflake named Mattie Who lived off in cold Cincinnati. One day, chilly Mattie went batty And pondered and then waxed quite chatty.
She set out atop a fur hattie To find a twin snowflake as flatty And oddly proportioned at Mattie Who lived off in cold Cincinnatti.
She checked each snowbank and mudflatty In quest of her twin snowflake Patty. She looked 'til the sun shined and thatty Was what made poor Mattie go splatty.
The bookmark is here. Mattie's somewhere in Cincinnati.

The symbol on it, by the way, is the Chai, which is the Hebrew hai ( חַי) meaning "living." The Chai is a symbol that figures prominently in jewish culture. It consists of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet Chet (ח) and Yod (י). The Hebrew word ḥaiחַי "living" is releated to the term for life, (" chaim; hayyim.) This appears in the slogan "`am yisrael chai!" (עַם יִשְרָאֵל חַי, "The people of Israel live!"). It's also what you hear in the song from "Fiddler on the Roof": To life, to life, l'chaim. L'chaim, l'chaim, to life..."
