Catcher in The Rye

Have you ever regretted reading a book — which one and why?

I don’t think Catcher in The Rye was for me,

Perhaps too close to home it turned out to be,

A confused youth who misses the point,

An adolescent who gets sick having a joint,

Rejects the World as full of phonies,

While his dad makes money backing dead cert

ponies,

His World is there to explore,

Misinterpreting Burns is such a bore,

There was no truth ,

Just misspent youth,

The truth is you can’t escape,

And life happens and isn’t fake.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏
