just had another argument with my parents and managed to capture my emotions in verse. they want me to be a vet but i know i'm a poet.
Mum Dad I don't want to be a vet
I haven't written enough poetry yet
You don't understand why I write in rhyme
You just bang on about college all the time
Well I'm sick of it I tell you
I don't share your stupid view
I want to be a poet i've told you more than twice
I don't want to spend all my time with sick cats and mice
You can't tell me how to run my life
You're a fool Dad and so is your wife
I'm a poet, a poet why can't you see
I don't want to be a vet I want to be FREE!

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all!
So, I won't say anything at all!  |

The trick of the tail is to be a veterinary poet.

Who under the needle died slow.......'

| Writing poetry doesn't usually bring in much money on which to live - so who will you turn to when you need a roof over your head and food on your table? Stupid parents, of course. I do hope that when you're my age you tell me I've been wrong. I would keep the day job and write the poems in the evenings if I were you. I hope you will think I've given you good advice - but there again, I am a parent and a grandparent now. |

Top drawer stuff as usual cabbagepatchkid. Keep up the good work. I must admit it's a difficult toss up between pouring your heart out for a few quid and doing 6 years medicine at University.
Perhaps you might consider chucking them off moving bus? See if they understand you then?
Your No. 1 fan,

The best solution...

Would be to slaughter your parents in their sleep.
You can then join your beloved under her majesty's care, and have endless lock-down time in which to write poetry in peace.
I hope you find this advice helpful.

Parents are still parents! after all you are not what you are right now without them... hey they deserve your respect...
So you find this fancy?
You're a fool Dad and so is your wife...
I think your parents should start asking themselves if they are successful in raising you...relationship are far more important than poetry man....
