What we have here is a poem by Philip Larkin:
They f--- 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---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.

| The poem as written had the swear words spelled out. Does this version, primly required by Chatwoman for your protection, make a difference in the effectiveness of the poem? |
