AND DON’T HAVE ANY KIDS YOURSELF

I assumed most readers would have recognized some of the most famous lines of poetry written in the last fifty years in my little squib on Jacko. But in case you didn’t, I should hasten to add that “Man hands on misery to man/It deepens like a coastal shelf” refer to Philip Larkin’s treasure of a poem, “This Be The Verse.” If you don’t know his poetry, you really really should. Here’s a link to his collected work. Buy it.
