Very Bad Poetry

Welcome to the last refuge for the world's worst poetry.

It's difficult to understand how, in this age of information, poems that merely miss the mark can be tossed into the cold world to fend for themselves, only to whither and be forgotten.

Please help us to help them to help us.

Gerald

Jason Henninger

Gerald, oh Gerald-
come down from the ladder
and take off the noose
just because you’re not very good looking
that's no reason to snap your neck.

Gerald, poor Gerald
get out of the bath
and don’t touch the electric fan
you’ve only got herpes after all,
and it's not like anyone sleeps with you anyway

Gerald, sweet Gerald,
Put the shotgun down
and close your mouth
a urinary tract infection
is no reason to ventilate your skull.
