Worst Wrecks In The 'Verse

Bad poetry is like a really bad analogy.

And super fun to write.

 

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day??

...no.

 

Chomp

We were all so sorry
To hear of your fate,
We still don't know
How it escaped from the crate,
But...

Movement In P Major

You are such fun
Second to none,
Indeed it's true,
You're not number 2

Or be overly complex
I'm awkward at showers
Would you have preferred flowers?
Ah well...

Getting It All Out There

You're the Duchess to my Duke
The Leia to my Luke
And when I think about you
I really want to

...feed you cake.

 

Thanks to Peter F., Sharon M., Brandy, James H., & Joel P. for finding no rhyme or reason to these wrecks.

P.S. Are you in the market for bad poetry in the form of "an unholy, unmerciful, but richly humorous book"?Then YOU ARE IN LUCK:

The Stuffed Owl: An Anthology of Bad Verse

This is going on my gift-list.

They're Just Really Poetic Aliens

It's Bring Your Poet To Work Day, minions, a day I'm still choosing to believe is NOT a typo so that I can write bad poetry about bad cakes.

My big face of ambivalence
looms
My small face of nonplussed disillusionment
just kinda sits there

For but one wild and joyous moment
I thought that this said "excrement"

Now far from being heaven-sent,
My day has been all downhill since

I spilled my Kool-Aid
The bugs seem to like it

 two roads diverged in a wood
I took the one that made like a tree
but never leaves

Roses are red
But these look like poo

Stop crying, Rachel
You're getting the icing all gross

Thanks to Karolyn G., Laurie N., Tiassa, Jenna M., & Norah W. for letting me unleash my inner muse. I'll, uh, go clean that up now.
