I’ve been told to write a really bad poem br It goes against the grain but sometimes you gotta show ‘em br That you can write the baddest, the baddest of bad br In the bad poem section, you’ve got something to add br br Now normally my poems perfectly rhyme and flow br They dance and they sing, a line would never end in apropos br They’re deep, so very deep that their bottom has never been found br In the deep and meaningful section is where they’re usually crowned br br But just for a laugh, just for something different to do br I thought I’d write a poem which would get the kind of review br That you wouldn’t wipe your bum with, for fear of being contaminated br Write one for which the reviewers had only vitriolic hatred br br So this is my offering to put in the bad poem section br I hope it gets added to many bad poem collections br But I’d like it to be known, I make this statement bold br That all my other poems are sheer solid gold! br br (Sydney, Australia - 2007)br br Alessandra Liveranibr br
