This Be The Verse
Philip Arthur Larkin

Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Get out as early as you can,
And half at one another’s throats.
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
Man hands on misery to man.
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
And add some extra, just for you.
Who half the time were soppy-stern
They may not mean to, but they do.
But they were fucked up in their turn
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
They fill you with the faults they had
