Fair Warning To The Peotry Branch: <i>Cheesy Rhymes</i> (A Review of "The World's Worst Poetry")

The Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | 08/03/02 | Tom Payne

[F.J. Mitchell]

An illiterate mute wrote it all down,
loudly he uttered not even one sound,
and the deaf all agreed,
to ignore all they heard the blind man read.

This is really much too high-class for this thread, but I'll give you two of my faves from Stanislaw Lem:

I see the eigenvalue in thine eye;
I hear the tender tensor of thy sigh;
Bernoulli would have been content to die
Had he but known such a-squared-cosine-two-phi.

Seduced, shaggy Samson snored.
She scissored short.
Sorely shorn, soon shackled slave,
Samson sighed.
Silently scheming, sightlessly seeking
Some secret, spectacular suicide.
