Quicker than Light


Dear Mummy

I chose the short straw yet again

And have had to wait in for the electrician

And to pass the time

I have been watching Twilight

(which is a movie that you probably have never heard of)

There is a scene early on

When Edward saves Bella from a certain death

By using his superhuman speed and strength

It is all very much from the fantasy vampire genre

But it has haunted me as I am unusually strong

And have razor sharp reflexes

Do you remember the mysterious slaughter

Of those poor sheep when I was very young

We moved without real reason shortly afterwards

Why was this as it seems odd to me

You said that it was because you wanted

Josie and I to attend a better private school

I always thought that to be very true

But things are beginning to add up

Is Josie really my identical twin

As she seems so much younger than me

And suffers from a madness that I do not share

I have always excelled in all my pursuits

But Josie is superior to me in many ways

If there is a truth please share it will me
