And on the subject of horrific poetry, you might want to check out William McGonagall's "The Tay Bridge Disaster", a perennial candidate for the worst poem ever written. Here's the first verse:
Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
Reading it in a Scottish accent helps, I find.
Someone at the last company I worked for introduced me to the memorable (how on earth will I ever forget - please let me forget!) works of McGonagall. The "poem" about cheese pretty much laid me on the floor.
And reading it out loud is definitely the key here.
well let me see here you all like cuack well thats about it bye
