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.

McGonagall Visits Adelaide after visiting Melbourne

Mike Hopkins

Beautiful City of Adelaide

They say that in heaven you were made

You sit upon the Torrens

And can be viewed from Mount Lofty through a lens

One million people live on your plains

And mostly are happy, though some do have pains

Your western boundary is the briny water

Your eastern is hills which make my legs falter

Oh Adelaide I praise you, fair city

And look on Melbourne with nothing but pity
