Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Should Have Stopped in the Beginning


"This Be The Verse" verse written by

Philip Larkin, apparent aim

To tell us kids the reason why

We're such a mess, parents to blame.

But their excuse is that they too

Had parents to blame all the way

Back to Adam and Eve, both who

Could only blame to whom they'd pray,

Who wasn't pleased with them, no doubt,

And to the wilderness were sent

From Eden, they had to get out,

Packed up the kids and off they went.


Stop having children, humankind,

And go extinct, the Earth won't mind.
