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.

Hairspray Holdout

Brown Star

It holds your hair so you don't look square

Tougher than a piece of bamboo

Tougher than a lion's claw

Hairspray the light of my life

It makes my scalp shine

Oh what a pity if I don't have any

Just go to the store and ask for some more.

Brown Star has published another poem since joining on 30/11/99. Read more of Brown's terrible poetry at the anthology. Here are three of Brown's latest works:
