'Take One Home for the Kiddies' - The Whitsun Weddings

Summary:
This is a poem about the way children can be unintentionally brutal. The way children 'play' with pets like toys is the example used by a Larkin. Unsurprisingly, this poem fits perfectly with many other poems written by Larkin. It is morbid and depressing.

Themes:
The theme in this poem mostly summarises it. It is about the savagery and also innocence of children.

Title:
The word ' kiddies' is used to descrbie the children. This almost sounds sarcastic after reading the poem. 'Kiddies' suggests that the children are sweet and innocent, however this is not how they are potrayed in the poem.
