Unedited. Unplugged. Unhinged.


This site is dedicated to the Affectionate Remembrance of William Topaz McGonagall, Poet Laureate of the Silvery Tay.

Welcome to this place. It’s a Bad Poetry competition. It has no ads.

How it works: Submit your entry to the comments section of this post. If your entry is bad enough to make it into the semi-finals, it will get its very own prestigious post space.

The winner will receive the title, Pandora’s Poet Laureate, to keep for a year, and also a best quality photoshop-enhanced mouse-crafted jpeg certificate to keep forever.

Rules of the competition: Only the worst poem will win. For examples of truly bad poetry, visit the top two links on the right. There will be no runners up, and absolutely no consolation prizes whatsoever.

An impartial celebrity guest judge will be appointed as soon as one volunteers.

Deadline for entries is the 12th of January 2007. The winner will be announced soon after.
