“Your Father’s Head”

Tone of this poem would seem to be sincere and apologetic but it is actually careless and humorous. The author makes this poem sound as if this character was sorry but he actually doesn’t care about what he did. This is a parody of the poem “this is Just to Say” by William Carlos Williams

I have killed

Your father

His head fell

Off his body

He was

Probably going

To take

You fishing

Tomorrow

But he was

Sick anyway

And my sword

Couldn’t keep away

From his neck
