In Defence of Mum and Dad (A Rebuttal to This Be The Verse)

Philip Larkin

You were angry
      And somewhat nuts
They clothed your frame
     And fed your guts

Without them
      There’s no Aubade
Your masterpiece
      Denying God

You were revered
      And somewhat famous
Though not as rich
      As Kingsley Amis

They did their best
      You drank your smell
It’s not their fault
      You lived your hell

by Richard W. Bray
