Sonnet VII

One day I was introduced to Cora.
A girl quite shy, quiet, cheery and sweet,
Most gentle, serene, subtle and discreet.
She was a girl with a charming aura.
Some days later, I once more saw Cora.
This time, she was direct, yet, soft and sweet,
Confident, certain and not so discreet.
There and then, she had more air than aura.
When I queried, I found to my surprise,
She was Sara, and not Cora in disguise.
After a moment, the thought trickled through,
Sara and Cora! ah! Twins! There are two!
One with an aura, the other, an air,
They were the MacKay twins, and what a pair!
