Vogon poetry is of course, the third worst in the universe.
|
|
|
|
The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by
|
|
their poet master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small
|
|
Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of
|
|
his audience died of internal haemorrhaging and the president of the
|
|
Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own
|
|
legs off. Grunthos was reported to have been "disappointed" by the
|
|
poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book
|
|
epic entitled "My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles" when his own major
|
|
intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up
|
|
through his neck and throttled his brain.
|
|
|
|
The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paul Neil
|
|
Milne Johnstone of Redbridge, in the destruction of the planet Earth.
|
|
Vogon poetry is mild by comparison.
