Ball Poetry - Poems about Balls: By Phillip Larkin

Balls - By P Larkin

They fuck you up, your different balls
they mean not mean to but they do
they fill you with the faults they had
and add some extra just for you

but they were fked up in their turn
by balls in old style hats and coats
who half the time were soppy stern
and half at one anothers throats

Man hands on balls to Man
We get more than you could fit on a costal shelf
so get a ball while you can
and don't be mean to balls yourself.

By Phil Larkin
