The best of your 'Worst Poetry'
I really thought I'd get more submissions than I did for bad poetry. Thought the commenters would be all over this one.
Hands down, this was my favorite of the entries I got. If you're a regular on the comment boards, the author will look familiar.
"I wake up all too often
and have to leave the bed.
I'd much prefer to lie there
and rest my weary head.
I come to this recliner
not wanting to partake
of any more bombardments
the Internet can make.
Bad feet will not consider
a trip to the TV,
to change another movie
and I really need to pee.
So once again you'll find me
sitting where you read me last,
at least I have not sat so long
my skin is sticking fast.
That WOULD be just the ending,
for you to read about my fate,
“What happened to Old Multi…
haven't heard from her of late?”
They found her where she always was,
her mouse in hand, eyes crusted.

Oh, man. Good stuff.
I also really like this one:
"Sarah Palin Sarah Palin
Oh and Michael Vick
Michael Jackson dies
Bob Novak gets the stick
Wild dogs in Georgia
Pregnant moms and SUVs
Al Gore's carbon footprint
Don't cut down the trees
Anger over taxes
Anger over wealth
Anger over anything
That has to do with health
Another day on ljworld
Fishing for debris
Can't get this kind of comedy
Anywhere on TV

rofl! I guess my creativity peaks when I 'm sitting here having worrisome chest pains. I figured I better leave you all with something to remember me by. I didn't know you were going to do a follow up, too funny.

My verse too good,
To make the list?
Oh, man, now that's
A bummer..
I'll think about it,
For a while,
The next should be
A hummer !

Ronda, schula, Multi, too,
Welcomed me
Into this zoo!
jonas, tange and
Even bea,
Could have tried
To caution me.
If I just knew then
What I don't know now,
I'd probably be here
Anyhow.
So now a “Toast”,
To posters all,
“Here's to LJW posters,
%&$# 'em all!

“Them Toad Suckers”
How about Them Toad Suckers,
Ain't they clods?
Sittin' there suckin'
Them green toady-frogs.
Suckin' them hop-toads,
Suckin' them chunkers,
Suckin' them leapy types,
Suckin' them plunkers.
Look at Them Toad Suckers,
Ain't they snappy?
Suckin' them bog-frogs
Sure makes'em happy.
Them huggermugger Toad Suckers,
Way down south,
Stickin' them sucky-toads
In they mouth.
How to be a Toad Sucker?
No way to duck it.
Gittchyself a toad,
Rare back and suck it!”

-nothing to say but here-
here
take this
beyond the blank page
take this into your heart
sit in the focused chair of theatre
awaiting the play
eat corn and drink sugar
there is nothing in the vision
of others
necessarily taking you
higher than the stalks you wade
where there is nothing grand
beyond your taking
on your own time
so is this read the gift
that you seek
your own destination written
in the ever doubtful artistic quest
without the worked vision bought with corporate funs
housed by a master
in your own space
