Best Rotten Poems

Lumpy Rumpy, now a high school lad,
I'm afraid is still acting very bad,
In his school laboratory he did amass,
Some stinking, self-made, rotten egg gas.

He corked it up in a chemistry vial,
Then down the town, he strolled for a while,
Choosing a site, the local paper shop,

Across the lands and shores

Plants and spores

So much life in different shapes and forms

Many storms cold or warm



Always been an omnivore

So I eat vegetables like corn

And meats like albacore and boar

I don't care about the odds on the board

It's about so much more

And not just...

Dan was having a passionate affair
told his wife he’s going to leave her
She said she’d never give him a divorce….
he thwacked her with a meat cleaver

He told their kids mum had gone away
but in truth it was a heinous lie
He’d buried her in the allotment
poor...

I cradle and rock him,
He's so fragile a thing in my arms,
So perfect, so innocent,
So unlike his mother.
His mother was broken and wicked,
A being rotten from within,
But I had loved her still.
It was foolish, I know,
But is that not what love entails,
Accepting someone for who...

There’s this
Rotten orange smell
I can’t see the orange, mind you
But it’s somewhere behind
The television screen
I know because
We smell it
We know it is there
Always
I cannot breathe without
Remembering that rotten orange
That hidden somewhere
Moldy fruit
And honestly we were fine before it
We argued over other things and we didn’t
Complain
About...

Analysis read—and wronged—and pulled
Lulled into our idealistic mess
Words no longer ours but hung distress
Farced in carnality—they are ruled

Soundness remains what we will believe 
And all else is but tethered nonsense
Clinched tightly in unfriendly absence
Overcome in overwrought relief

The judges judge on behalf of tongue
When ears and...

In the land of Cheeseheads, there came a call
Saying I’m a big donor, best of them all;
Just give me the scoop,
Some real union poop;
Oh Governor, how you did fall....

It starts with one box
Full of good potatoes
Judging from inside out
You have good potatoes here

Slime simpering smell 

Drifting in from nowhere
Perhaps is just a heat
Supposedly is one of those days
They still look good

Just open the box to catch the air

Before you know it
The dead rat...

littering wickedness forgotten his propriety
A man who is a rotten apple for a society
can harm the peace and harmony around
leaving the polluted symphony profound
The world is a tree, green and supreme
possessing a beauty of wisdom character
talent in branches and leaves is ample
what a flourishing canadian...

How can a virus make you feel so bad?
Bought all the potions the pharmacist had
My nose is red
Staying in bed
Using sick time being sick- makes me mad.........

Go on, spoil me rotten
Wrap me in wooly cotton
Enroll me in a class
Where I’m taught the art of grass.
Like your food I always ate
Life is served up on a plate
Now I’m hard to satiate
And you’re the object of my hate.

Give me what I want,
Give it...

down to the ground freed
for the apple doesn't fall
