Re: back swot on a British snot

The poem wasn't without its charms, no. I just don't think it was a
good poem. I think I got a chuckle myself when I worked through the
sentence structure a bit and yes, it did indeed fit the thread perfectly.

After reading that little bit I picked up my wife's copy of /Naked
Lunch/ and started reading it. It's not easy or particularly enjoyable.
 Yeah...I like Ginsberg more (ever read his journals?). But
still....that little bit quoted on that site...man, it explains a lot :)
