Bunk

A shoe salesman once told me
Goin’ shoeless hurts your feet
A Mormon said to fill my head
With lessons every week
A speed freak recommended speed
Junkies advertised for junk
A president said what he said
And all of it was senseless bunk

I love this!

I like this, because it's true, and also because identifying it and labeling it as "bunk" is the beginning of wisdom.

“I don’t spot junk neighbourhoods by the way they look, but by the feel, somewhat the same process by which a dowser locates hidden water. I am walking along and suddenly the junk in my cells moves and twitches like the dowsers wand: ‘Junk here!’”

—William S. Burroughs—
—Junky—

This goes for me, too, except for bunk. And there’s been a hell of a lot of it on RfM lately.

As always, Don, thank you for reaching past cliché.

Human

William S. Burroughs, yes. The genius behind the junk.

Being Mormon is like having a doctor who never went to medical school.
