h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Your article just caught my`
And now I feel that I must try`
To follow instructions that I see `
And write some LOUSY poetry`
So saying Im not so bad at all`
As to reach the peaks of McGongall`
THe doyen of bad verse what a name he has`
Who would call a child Topaz`
Its true hes christened William first`
But TOPAZ? that must be a first`
And you can see the struggle that a poet has`
To find a word to rhyme with Topaz`
Well thats my contribution to BAD verse`
Next time I promise Ill try to do worse!

Writing bad poetry, according to
Deirdre my aunt,
Is something that Samerkando
And others caunt.


(With apologies for the length of time
It has taken me to reply (in rime)

No better poet can there be
Than Weeder*s dearest Auntie D
But she can*t conceal it, hard as she may try
She is really a SEAUMUS HEANEY SPY!!

Oh yes , every household has one!

You know, every time someone posts bad poetry to this page, I find myself thinking I'm a complete amateur. Who was I to write an entry on something everyone is so much better at than I?

O Samarkand - don't be a meany -
Who (and/or what) is SEAUMUS HEANEY?
