I haven’t subjected the masses to my really bad poetry in quite a while. So yep it’s time to stand by those panic rooms. Terrible Poetry beckons and this time it’s potentially my worst ever.
Still time to have a go at Chelsea Owens’s wonderful Mused Poetry challenge.
“Life’s not been great for quite a few humans recently, myself included. If I were a mature, serene type, I’d likely suggest a mature, serene acceptance and a moving forward with healing. …I’m not really that type, though, so this month’s theme is:
- Snarky Rant. That’s right: a jaded, sarcastic, fed up, perhaps even nihilistic poem in an “I stick it to you, sucky events!” manner.
- The Length is your call. This is something you get to call the shots on, after all!
- Rhyming is also up to you.
- The Rating’s still PGish to keep general audiences happy, but there are always asterisks or near-fudges for situations like this.
- Despite the he** you may have endured, make us laugh. As we lay, prone, in the minefield of calamities, help us hold our bruised ribs in a knowing and painful release of the bad times we all relate to.
You have till 10:00 a.m. MST February 5 to submit a poem.”
*****************
Brexit completely messed up
Government has gone corrupt
–
Contracts given to party donors
Paid for by bigger bills for homeowners
–
100000 covid deaths
They couldn’t even care less
–
A nation scared forever
No virus tracing whatsoever
–
Care Homes lambs to the slaughter
Country becoming an second rate backwater
–
School system in utter disarray
While Johnson moans about his own pay
–
Massive backlogs at the ferry ports
Backing Ministers subject to damming bullying reports
–
Empty supermarkets shelves
Ministers looking after themselves
–
U turn after U turn after U turn
Economy in a massive downturn
–
Leaders downing the finest wine
Yet free school meals must be declined
–
Desperately trying to remove worker rights
Refusing to make safe dangerous high rise sites
–
All this just in one year of Johnson being in charge
A dangerous dishonest charlatan at large
So before he gets on with having another affair
Will someone please comb this numpties hair.
This is brilliant 😀

Nope, nope, nope… it’s not terrible.
The only thing you’re terrible at, is writing “terrible” poetry. You’re just too good! 😉💌💌💌

I think Trump would share his orange makeup and his hairstylist – although I can’t say that his look works for everyone 🙂
Great terrible poetry! You have a great terrible gift! 🙂
