Replying to a comment on:

father Worked Nights (Free verse) by poetandknowit

father lived in a factory. he would pound, pound and pound all night long, never stopping, never saying why. Laugh and scream, pound and pound -- no lunch hour, not even a coffee break. Pound and pound, using the cat and mother for his steel.

Actually, this poem is a bit of a joke. Anyway, merry old England does not have an urban working class and domestic violence. The ratio of wife beater does not go up after a big soccer match loss.
