I may have to change the "arse" line, but it's in for now.
KIDS TODAY
If it's disgusting and illicit,
kids today don't want to miss it.
But if it's thinking you'd elicit,
stand back: kids today will diss it.
Kids today are like the Dane:
who can know if they're insane?
"Read!" we tell them. They won't deign.
Reading gives their arse a pain.
But I'll admit some kids dissent.
They love to read. They represent
a cure for culture's sad descent
and give the lie to my lament.
