But What is Man’s Nature?
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
The poet’s lofty principle about
The buggering of boys’ butts was plain.
When physical with guys, his only shout
Was, “Follow nature.” Poets should refrain
From filling holes not meant for making kids.
A woman’s hairy hole was what God made
For hard ons. Later Freud would learn that Ids
Have other thoughts more like a thrusting spade.
But Rupert beat him to that finding. Brooke
Decided principles were only that:
He had young Denham over and then shook
His nether hole with Rupert’s lunging splat.
High-mindedness is very, very well
Unless your cock begins to ache and swell.
