A Study of Reading Habits
Philip Arthur Larkin
1922 to 1985
Track 1
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.

It was worth ruining my eyes
Who's yellow and keeps the store,
The hero arrives, the chap
Evil was just my lark.
Cured most things short of school,
Books are a load of crap.
Later, with inch-thick specs,
Had ripping times in the dark
I broke them up like meringues.
The women I clubbed with sex!
Who lets the girl down before
Don't read much now: the dude
To know I could still keep cool,
Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
Me and my cloak and fangs
And deal out the old right hook
To dirty dogs twice my size.
When getting my nose in a book
