3. Sylvia Plath got on my last nerve |
|
Never seemed to appreciate the fact that her mom worked two jobs to put her ass in private school---
Her poetry was full of her snit fits---
I never "got" her popularity.

4. Well, "The Bell Jar" was quite a good read, |
|
particularly the narrator's reaction upon first seeing the genitalia of Buddy Willard:
"Turkey neck, turkey gizzard."

8. "Mom's Sweet Panties"? |
|
If you're like me, its images were etched with punishing clarity upon your neural pathways.

13. Fodder for endless academic speculation. |

Who is this "Heather Brown."
Are there some clues in that final immortal paragraph?
But of course, there was no time for that. There was still so much sucking to be done before the afternoon was over. So much lost time to be made up for.

11. Well, at least we know Sylvia knows how Laura Bush must've felt... |
|
... except that in Laura's case, the "turkey neck, turkey gizzard" was connected to a prick.
