\a office - seeker, to be sure,\ sed he.
\wall, sir,\ sed i, \yous never more mistaken in your life. you haint got a orfiss id take under no circumstances. im a. ward. wax figgers is my perfeshun. im the father of twins, and they look like me--both of them. i come to pay a friendly visit to the president eleck of the united states. if so be you wants to see me, say so,--if not, say so im orf like a jug handle.\
\mr. ward, sit down. i am glad to see you, sir.\

Explanation:

The sentence uses self-deprecating, absurd humor: the over-the-top emphasis that both twins look exactly like the speaker, paired with the folksy, silly comparison of leaving "like a jug handle" creates a comedic, informal tone that contrasts with the formal setting of meeting the President-elect.

Answer:

"I'm the father of Twins, and they look like me--BOTH OF THEM. I come to pay a friendly visit to the President eleck of the United States. If so be you wants to see me, say so,--if not, say so I'm orf like a jug handle."
