    'Twas After Our Wedding

    'Twas after our wedding I was left on my own
    To care for my children and build them a home,
    But who could I turn to? Who my children would mind?
    I had to find a neighbour both charitable and kind.
    I was at my wit's 'end with no where to go.
    Where could I leave them? Just where - I don't know!
    I wandered near and far to find a place of the best.
    Somewhere my young ones would find love, care and rest.
    And then, there I saw! The end of all my woe!
    I'd leave my first born there and then on I would go.
    I'd leave each offspring in a different type of home.
    They'd be well looked after and not on their own.
    You may think I've no heart to do the awful thing I do,
    But each Spring you will listen to hear our cry - Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
