I’d rather have my nose stuffed with churros
Than read William Burroughs.
They told me his voice
Resembled James Joyce
And, that was true enough
If Joyce was into porn, feces and snuff
His was the only book I ever buyed
That I felt compelled to hide
So, thanks a bunch
For Naked Lunch
A glowing review π

Thanks, Deb. Unlike most things I hate, I actually hate William Burroughs…

Nice rhyming. Itβs not often you can slip churros into a literary poem…

Never actually read any of his work, so I’ll take your criticisms of the man as the universal truth.

On the one hand, you should never take anyone’s word for anything. On the other, I feel a lot more powerful now that you’ve said that…

so you expected a different story when you buyed the book?

To be honest, my son “buyed” the book and told me I should read it…

So obviously you’ve read everything he ever wrote, and met him personally? If you were expecting another Joyce, why don’t you just read him? I’ve read thousands of books and The Wild Boys & Queer are still my favourites. He may write about the unspeakable and unthinkable, but that takes some courage, and he never lied to me. At least your poem rhymes.

At the very least, my poem rhymes. I’ve read and reread Joyce. Burroughs was a big disappointment to me.
