I used to write a lot of poetry
I love that Luke Wright poem TP - I'm going to spend some time today going through his work I think - yay for new ways to procrastinate!

As for my nonsense, these two were written after I read a Philip Larkin pome, guess which...

I
This overpopulated world
Needs no more to fill it up
Brimming over with our filth
Soon the planet will erupt
Like a plook squeezed from the base
Septic humans fill the spot
Pus will seep and smother us
Perpetuating all our rot.
Breeding, breeding rabbits we
Prolong our egos and our ids
Save the planet, save yourself!
Don`t bother having any kids!
After all, it`s not as if
Humans have any more to give
For far too long we`ve only taken
We really don`t deserve to live.

II
Who needs children anyway?
Nasty sucking parasites
Sqealing, mewling, wormy things
Shrieking through the darkling nights.
Growing up and costing more
Causing mum and dad to grieve.
Eighteen years of cupboard love
Then the little bastards leave.
