Philip Larkin - BreadfruitPhilip Larkin - Breadfruit
Work rating: Medium


Boys dream of native girls who bring breadfruit,     Whatever they are, As bribes to teach them how to execute Sixteen sexual positions on the sand; This makes them join (the boys) the tennis club, Jive at the Mecca, use deodorants, and On Saturdays squire ex-schoolgirls to the pub     By private car. Such uncorrected visions end in church     Or registrar: A mortgaged semi- with a silver birch; Nippers; the widowed mum; having to scheme With money; illness; age. So absolute Maturity falls, when old men sit and dream Of naked native girls who bring breadfruit     Whatever they are.
