Most of the poems we did at school were good...

here's one of my favourites: This be the Verse, by Phillip Larkin.. (oh how we giggled when the teacher read this to us :P)

They **** 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 ****ed 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.
