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.

One Year Wise

Robert Hawkins

Its amazing the energy.
The pleasure derived from simple things.
When your one year wise.
Flinging butter,
Watching it slide down the wall.
Is an immeasureable treat.
Stalking a fly against a window pane.
Neat.

The first taste of dirt,
From face to shirt.
So on to your next delight.
Playing in the water splashing about.
Reaching as far as possible,
Down from the toilet seat.

From a high chair,
All the goo food,
That can be generously smeared about.
Seemingly to defy physics.

Contemplating new discoveries.
While pulling out all the trash.
Holding doggies tongue,
To stop doggie from licking
all your snot.

Hording your snot,
Comes natural to anyone,
One year wise.

note:
I ran out of wise ass remarks. sorry.
But you can see Honey she will give you one free.
