She's played merry hell with poetry; Betjeman will be turning in his grave!

Funny? Tick!
Clever? Tick!
I flatter myself that Betjeman would have been tickled!
I think it might have appealed to Hull's great poet, Philip Larkin,
who gave us those immortal lines;
This Be The Verse
BY PHILIP LARKIN
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.

I go not that far............................Tree and me perhaps?of course 'flogged' has two meanings, both appropriate - 'whipped' and 'sold'
maybe our manipulators could use this?

This is normally regarded as a fairly easy task but recently even they have been asking for evidence of backbone

Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Goole are not on my list of favourite places to visit. Hull is in the same region and for our US friends here is a little puzzle. We have an old saying "May the good Lord save us from Hell, Hull and Halifax.". Without resorting to Google what were the reasons? If you get 2 out of 3 that is pretty good. Halifax is a bit tricky.
Is the "S" silent, or is it the "c"? Or is it pronounced "Scun-thorpe"?
"Hello! Paging Mike Hunt. Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?? I'm looking for Mike Hunt!!! Please, somebody help me find Mike Hunt!!!!"

Hell is obvious. I assume Hull is some place almost as bad. Like Newark, New Jersey or Detroit.
And Halifax had The Gibbet, a precursor of the guillotine. The blade fell with such force, the head & body often flew in opposite directions.
Yikes !!!!
On Ilkla moor baht 'at,
In 'Alifax baht 'ead!
That's excellent Naraku -
I believe Hull had some unpleasant way of dealing malefactors too,
but Melissa's the authority!
