The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes Vogon poetry as being “the
third worst poetry in the Universe” with Azagoths
of Kria coming in second.
The
very worst poetry of all in the history of everything is credited to
Paula Nancy Millstone
Jennings. Though on the recent tour, the 'editors' of the Guide have
been accepting submissions of some rather arm gnawing verse.
But
how, I hear you ask, do you write something so mortally bad that the
listener's brain actually seeks ways of devolution so that it can
return to a primordial ooze with little to no understanding of
languages and thus freeing itself of hearing any more?
Well
you could use a poetry generator like this:
Which
simulates the twisted dirge of Vogon verse.
Here
is my offering from this site:
See,
see the Clever sky
Marvel at its big puke depths.
Tell me, Ashley do you
Wonder why the pug ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel tired.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your humblington facial growth
That looks like
A cheese.
What's more, it knows
Your nudcrumble potting shed
Smells of pea.
Everything under the big Clever sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm nappies.
Tell me, Ashley do you

So
from this I can deduce, that to write really bad poetry you must:
Use
bad imagery
Use very bad metaphors
Use simplistic adjectives
Pay
no attention to time or meter.
So,
taking this on board, and without computer assistance:
Ode
to the furry thing I feed called a cat
Oh
thing of fur,
with
eyes,
your
mouth eats the meat,
in
jelly that smells bad.
Like
a small vacuum cleaner that likes meat.
You
swallow the jellied meat cubes,
That
have escaped from their tin prison.
Purr
cat Purr.
For
that is your way,
Of
telling me thanks,
For
the smelly food,
Oh
purr you furry cat like thing that is a cat.

I actually like the cat poem. It's quite charming really :)
CHARMING!
It was supposed to be rubbish.
Back to the drawing board
:)
Problem is if you write something intentionally bad, it becomes ironic, and then some fool calls it art and it become hugely trendy and popular. Where does it end?
I dislike cats, John Constantine had it right when he used them to get access to hell.... Half in, half out!
The post is apt and great by the way Colin, nice to hear you are sticking around :-)

Thanks for referencing John Constantine. You are of my own heart.
Though I love cats, for the same reason you 'dislike' them.

I feel this proves my point - but have no doubt you will enjoy this as a cat person!
That links just goes to show why I love cats? ahhahah, thanks for that.
