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.

The Monkey

smothers shirley

He painted the
monkey green,
he surely is
very mean.

Then he painted the
monkey yellow,
he's really a
nasty fellow.

Then he painted the
monkey red,
now the poor thing
is dead.

The man, not the monkey
the monkey hit the man
with a monkey wrench.
Now that's an irony.
