Dear Charlie

I am sorry to hear that the two artists died

They were both very talented boys

Like you I am so tired of this pointless war

Although it makes me happy to know

That from your wretched trench

That we can share views of our wonderful city

I have spoken to Maise Ann who has agreed

That if this conflict is upsetting you

Then the best course of action is for you to leave

Let these restless idiots play their silly games

Which have little or nothing to do with our family

I will be waiting for you along with your loving sister

On the road leading away from the ruined churches


Your Loving Father
