World's Worst Poem
Posted: January 3rd, 2009, 12:05 pm
the current Poet Laureate of the US, Kay Ryan
has determined that Lightning Rod has written
The World's Worst Poem
This poem is so bad that
one reading can do irreparable damage
especially to the unsuspecting or the weak of mind
it's so caustic and vile and full of bile
the images can make you go blind
to some it just doesn't make sense
so, to protect the frail and innocent
the poem has been placed in a locked and leaden box
and quarantined like the pox
they've pickled it in nitrogen just in case
even the armed guard has a blindfold on his face
you'll never see the World's Worst Poem
But I wrote it.
