Fucking parents again.

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.

--Philip Larkin

[Something Else]

Nobody has ever called me by my official name.
It was like ma folks realised they had made a mistake on the way back from the hospital.
I only found out my real first name when I was about 9 or 10.

My official name is.

[Skiz]

Got my name from my Dad's; I'm a "Jr.".

His first name was given to him as his father's brother died when he was young and it was a sort of tribute.

Middle comes from another tribute to the other brother who was shot down in WW2 over the ocean and never found.

No idea about my last name.

Mine came from my dad being all down with mythology and stuff. Thanks Dad.

No rod.

I fear Ben really did think his name was 'Spaz' til a kindly priest took him under his wing and gave him a totally different alias altogether.
