This be the verse

Hej

Jeg har fået en skriftlig opgave omkring This be the verse.

Min opgave hedder: Discuss the view of childhood.

Hvordan skriver jeg en opgave, hvor jeg skal diskutere med mig selv?

Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse

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.
