Rotten Convention Poem by Shel Silverstein

Rotten Convention

Rating: 5.0


They had a Rotten Convention
And everyone was there:
Hamburger Face and Gruesome Grace
And the Skull with the slimy hair.

There was Mr. Mud and the Creepin' Crud
And the Drooler and Belchin' Bob,
There was Three-Headed Ann- - she was holdin' hands
With the Whimperin' Simperin Slob.

The Unpronounceable Name, he came,
And so did Saw-Nose Dan
And Poopin' Pete and Smelly Feet
And the Half-Invisible Man.

There was Sudden Death and Sweat-Sock Breath,
Big Barf and the Deadly Bore,
And Killin' Dillon and other villains
We'd never seen before.

And we all sat around and told bad tales
Of the rottenest people we knew,
And everybody there kept askin' …
Where were you?
