You done this chap yet?

The hardest part of cutting out the head has already been done for you!

Obligatory poem post:

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.

Some judge recited the poem in his summing up of a case in Family Court last week. I lol'd when I read about it :D

# I'm more a Harold Pinter man ....
... there's an eternal argument with me and my bird about who's better: Pinter or Beckett.

So I might do a Beckett one as she wonders around with her Salmon Rushdie one on the time and I like my Pinter one that I bought myself but split curry down and ruined (sort of) so I might pit Bukowski against Beckett.

But yeah I'll add it to my list.

# Not really neither (don't read any of them) - I just love Beckett's wrinkly old scrotum face ;)
