Please read the letter.
It’s pinned by a magnet to the fridge.
You used to be such a go-getter.
Now it’s like, ‘let’s decide when we get to that bridge.’

Please read the letter.
It has important instructions on it.
The ceiling’s getting wetter,
so for goodness sake use the proofing kit!

Please read the letter.
It’s your last chance, so you better.
Don’t you dare ruin the dishes or my favourite sweater,
else this time you’ll have to deal with the outside weather.

Tagline: Reminiscences, instructions & consequences that come with a letter!

WEP is here with its musical theme of ‘Please read the Letter’! This is the first time I’ve tried writing a poem (or at least something resembling it?) for the WEP and really enjoyed it. I think I’m going to try it more.
