Miss, my twin is antimatter,
he’s quite like me but maybe fatter.
So you should know when he’s around
I can’t be seen, I can’t be found.
For if we meet, like say at school,
there is a chain reaction rule
I’d not have chance to even shout
before we two would cancel out
and blow the world to kingdom come
including you, my dad, and mum.
And as a teacher you must see
it’s down to science, not just me.
That’s why I can’t come in today
and so I’ll play quite far away.

Feel free to use this excuse the next time you need a day or two off school. I’m sure your teacher will understand.
