The worst poem ever written.
Well, what did you expect?
Strikes no chords, hits no buttons,
Just leaves you all perplexed.
...
The Language of Love is not taught in our schools.
Its grammar and lexis “too hard”,
“Too complex” its rules
For the average pupil to master.
...
Our progress through life is marked off by milestones.
The first is when we reach the age of ten –
We feel so much bigger having hit double figures.
The second’s when we turn thirteen –
...
They say all men are brothers.
They say all cows eat grass.
...
I have gone with the flow,
I have swum with the tide,
Boarded block-booked trains,
Enjoyed the ride.
