The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy...

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other StoriesThe Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories by Tim Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Like Tim Burton? This collection of nonsense poems is not Batman, or Edward Scissorhands, or even Sleepy Hollow. These creepy stories are unique. Twisted, bizarre, fantastic, even demented. But some are just so funny. Here's one:

SUE
To avoid a lawsuit,
we'll just call her Sue
(or "that girl who likes
to sniff lots of glue")
The reason I know
that this is the case
is when she blows her nose,
kleenex sticks to her face

Daft, and laugh out loud funny. Well, for me anyway!
