Souvenir Larkinesque de la Rive Gauche (et de l’Aile Gauche-seulement avec la permission des flics)

 

   A Larkinesque Souvenir of the Left Bank

(and of the Left Wing-only by permission of the cops)

 

They fuck you up, your mummies and daddies,

They make you mean, and moody blue,

Their fault you’re dummy-spitting saddies,

That life’s turned shit, oh yes, it’s true.

 

Some fuckers, though, will never learn,

Fooled by posh twats with Latin quotes,

Whose nanny’s teat’s their sole concern,

Lives hidden within their castle moats.

 

They’ve plannned to fail who will not plan,

Blame Johnny Forinner! not yourselves,

Buy that gammony gobshite’s scam,

Selling fucking unicorns and elves.

Forgive my stupidity MC, but I'm not sure what you're saying:

" Tey a poem from a viewpoint that's alien to you. It might be
a challenge but useful for seeing another POV."

Thanks for that John; thought I might be out on a limb with this one-a lot of sensitive souls out there!😉

Nice delivery. Might work well as a performance poem.
