Two poems today - one for yesterday because I forgot to post it.

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.

Pandora's Box

I hear they found
Pandora's Box.

I hear this time
they took no chances.

I hear they summoned
an intelligent robot
to open the box
but he curled up
in a ball
behind a wall.

I hear they summoned
a less intelligent robot
who opened
Pandora's Box.

I hear they found
no anger or angst.
Just some bubble wrap.
But Pandora had burst
all the bubbles.
