Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse

They f**k you up, your mum and dad.

�They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

�And add some extra, just for you.

But they were f**ked up in their turn

�By fools in old-style hats and coats,

Who half the time were soppy-stern

�And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.

�It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Get out as early as you can,

�And don't have any kids yourself.

    About Me: To burn always with this hard, gem-like flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life. - Walter Pater
