June 1904 - James Joyce meets Nora
And she sticks to him like a Barnacle
The writer - once a musician - and her
The Dublin hotel worker - odd couple
By all accounts she was quite sexual
And he became smitten, this geeky guy
And their episodes were influential
On the tone of his nostalgic story-
Telling, famously, or infamously
In 'Ulysses'...Is Molly just like her
In tormenting Leopold, unfaithful
At least in her or in his fantasy
Is this what would gnaw at Joyce the writer
As he worked and she grew irritable
