the kind of poem that would make your english professor vomit in his chai tea

I've been in this fucking place
for far far too long
and I've kissed too much damn ass
to be down here this low
and its time for me to get out
its time for me to leave
I'm leaving this God-forsaken town
and I'm never coming back
thats right
you can take this job
and
and
re-staff it
The most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway, is that its you, and that you're standing in the doorway.

I write down good reasons to freeze to death in my spiral ring notebook. But in the long tresses of your hair--I am a babbling brook.

  • On the contrary. Your prof would probably commend its echoes of Philip Larkin.

    Philip Larkin was crap
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......
  • No he wasn't.

    he was a miserable old git.....way over-rated

  • He was a miserable old git and a tory bigot but he wasn't over rated as a poet. Ted Hughes was the over rated poet of his time. Anyway, I like your poem Kwyjibo.

    that's true....Ted Hughes was over-rated too.....he was a boor
