# Pam Ayres is a wonder :D
Not as much as Philip Larkin though!

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

# It isn't a hat if it isn't at a jaunty angle!
It is merely a covering!

TRUFAX!

# :D
the extent to which something is a hat is directly proportional to the jauntiness of the wearing

# what if you have a misshapen head?
my hat always looks jaunty when in fact its covering my abnormality

# Sounds like an evolutionary advance
The opposite sex shall swoon before you at your natural jauntiness.
Careful though, it might mutate into rakishness.

# Well that would be rubbish,
as proven by the fact that Unicorns are extinct, and Narwhals are endangered!
