    This Be The Verse

    BY PHILIP LARKIN

    They fuck 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 fucked 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.
