this is supposed to be the world's worst poem, according to Douglas Adams:

The dead swans lay in the stagnant pool.
They lay. They rotted. They turned
Around occassionally.
Bits of flesh dropped off them from
Time to time.
And sank into the pool's mire.
They also smelt a great deal.


So what do you all think?

I like it!

Short and ....well...

What do i think? The writer was a Taurus,
& bent out of shape about something at the time.

(the last line gave it away)

Well, Linnk, I'm not sure. I haven't checked Wikipedia, I've never heard of Douglas Adams...but hopefullly I'm going to search Wikipedia, because it's only a few clicks away!

Uhh...I don't know what you think of it, Linnk...but I would say...this is probably not really definitely the "worst" ever written poem...there could be a worse one, I guess

I find it incredibly funny! It's really... I don't know, ironical in a way. Makes me laugh when I read it, so I kind of like it!
