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.

Your Time Machine is My Time Machine

Daniella Princess of Doom

Jose does Cartwheels in the back yard
while mama cooks up something on the stove
here come the neighborhood urchins
to give Mr.Carlsbad a tow.

We live in a state of constant panic.
Here comes the shake, shake, shake of the stones.
We live in a state of being hooked on flavored seltzer
what you say has two meanings all the time.

Jose calls up Mary and asks her to be his
while his daddy walks the dog
here comes the city police
to give Mrs. Carlsbad the blow

We live in a state of instant gratification.
Here comes the shake, shake, shake of the bones.
We live in a place where there is no vacation.
And everything you say has
to be taken with a grain of salt.

Jose does it cuz he's real good at it, cuz he's so good
Jose does it cuz he's real good at it, and he's so good
Jose does it cuz he knows he can't get caught and that's so good
that's so good
that's really really good
