The New Man

His father was poet laureate Who ended his sonnets with Exclamation marks; but this young man, Sour from university, Spouts difficult verse liberated From 'continental' standards. Profession: professor. Hobbies: whores. He drives a pink motor car. He wears his wife to cocktail parties. He is wrapped in politics. He is consumed by politicians. He is essential to the nest. He hates his mother's guts. I am proud of my country.
