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.

Each time the electricity goes out
and the light bulbs shut us off instead
after the quieting downward hum
some of us,

at least long enough
so that the cars run out of gas
so that there is nothing left to do
finally
but to help each other.
