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.

My fist and your face on a date

Benji Carlisle

If I were lying I would say I had a brother but I would not tell your his name was Nathan.

I would say his name was Evan or Anthony or Rodney if I wanted you to know I was lying.

If I said I had 2 brothers I would not say that they were twins because that is too easy.

I would say I had 2 brothers,
one older one younger. One Ari, one Rodney, one no better than the other.

If I said I had a brother I would have to say how he died, and thinking of how to kill him would take all day.
