That made me laugh aloud.

These Opoems should be included in the book Very Bad Poetry, given to me as a gift by a friend. It is really, really bad:

And now, kind friends, what I have wrote,
I hope you will pass o’er,
And not criticize, as some have done,
Hitherto herebefore.
–Julia Moore (1847-1920)

Instead of orating, Mr. Blanco could have spoken from his other oriface and farted loud and long. This would have been a fine summation of President Obama’s performance.

Nothing could worse that the “paper, sissors, rock” poem from Clinton’s inauguration. Pure drivel.

All inaugural poetry stinks. This isn’t 18th century France. It’s about time for them to knock it off.

And Robespierre was better dressed.

I once heard Communism described as the “revenge of the untalented” because only in a communist state would such questionable (at best) artists be put on a pedestal, which is why such “artistic” types tend to be among communism’s most vocal supporters. I think this is a nice example of that phenomenon in action.

Nothing comes close to the classic inaugural poem by idiot extraordinaire Rev Joseph Lowery pleading that the day will come when “white will embrace what is right”. How could anyone even think of topping such artistic stupidity?

Agreed. After 4 years of Obama, can yellow finally be mellow (in Colorado they can!) and can the red man finally get ahead, man?

Don’t they know that Vogon poetry is officially considered torture under the Geneva convention?
