THEY FUCK YOU UP

THEY FUCK YOU UP


Below is Phillip Larkin’s 1971 poem, 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 yourself.

The poem is one of the UK’s favourite poems, whose lines are regularly recited. In April 2009, a judge quoted lines of the poem in his judgement in an acrimonious divorce case involving the custody a young . The British clinical psychologist, Oliver James, wrote two books entitled They F*** You Up and How Not to F*** Them Up. The Talking Heads’ song, Sax and Violins, includes the line, "Mom and Pop, they will fuck you up, for sure."

Why do parents sometimes fuck up?
What advice would you give parents on how not to fuck up ?
Do you read or write poetry?
Have you caught your parents having sex?

My parents did not fuck me up. In fact, they only fucked twice, resulting in me and my younger brother! I have no to fuck up yet!

 I am not a big fan of poetry. My Mothers fault. She wrote poetry and insisted on dramatic readings whenever she had a new audience. So yes, my parents fucked me up. I became a Psychologist because of it. Now I have my own children to fuck up. The difference is I know I am doing it. I tell them I will make sure they see a good shrink when they are older so they can complain about me. LOL
There is a difference between a good BJ and a bad BJ.

I used to be into poetry, both reading and writing poems - but I've now lapsed!

Sometimes poetry is more important to the person writing and reciting the poem than those having to read or listen to the poem.

I never caught my parents in the act, though I did find condoms and KY lube in their bedroom drawer.
