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.

love and misunderstanding

talula balula

Oh sweet turtle shell
Who housed a tortoise
But i failed to tell
Who i bathed in water
Each night and day
Well only in day
Cos i wasn’t always awake
I’m sorry for the
Worry i caused
Tortoise kind
Who i’m sure heard
You shuffle with
A frenzied cry
Oh sweet turtle or
Tortoise cos why does
It matter i’ve been
There myself by
Their ignorance
All splattered
The world is a fool
Not fathoming us
And yet all we must do
Is put and shut up
