Censored Ing Second Stanza
1,280 wordsThis Be the Verse by Philip Larkin They censored 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 censored ed up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were sloppy-stern And half at one another's throats. It deepens like a coastal shelf.
