Pretty sure I got “bull’s pizzle” from Willy. I got a lot more from Chaucer, though.

Yes, that bawdy smut-master William Shakespeare, pushing his woke, radical liberal agenda over the past 400 years.

Willy went woke and went broke.

When they came for The Bard, I said nothing because I thought high school English was boring

When they came for Frank Herbert, there was no one left to speak who knew how to read

I’d have said Bradbury. Fahrenheit 451. (My favorite day in the bookstore was when a mother came in looking for the audio version of that book for her daughter. Pretty sure it wasn’t because her daughter was blind. (Had a blind college student gift me an audiobook, a biography of Willie the Shake. Great way to pass the time when I was driving to teaching gigs every day.))

"You try any preversions in there, I’ll blow yer head off!”

(Apologies for the heavy repetition up there. It couldn’t be helped.)
