the brutality and violence of older people depends on their experiences as a child - thats the meaning i get from the title..

"A crack on the head is what you get for not asking"

  • i think this is about the fact that some people wont have the courage the learn or ask questions.. which in the end is worse off for them, because they dont have a very good knowledge. but.. curiousity killed the cat..

awesome, i totally think its about that. but then again, i never think a great poet (any great poet) does a poem meaning only one thing, on purpose, because he sees, at the moment of writing it, the enormous gamma os meaning that his words absorb. however your interpretation is at present the best i've got for it.
