Dear Mr. Larkin,
I just finished reading your poem “This Be the Verse”
For Mr. Throckmorton A. Thrasher’s English class,
And as he wants us all to write you
Our impressions of it or else, I just want to say
I don’t remember my folks fucking me up one bit—
Come to think of it, I don’t recall them fucking at all;
From the looks of it, I guess yours did it
In plain view of everybody, including you.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas LeVoyeur III,
