bad Victorian poetry, volume XVI

[illgotten]

Cannot find a text of the awful thing -- yes, before you ask, I do have a lively sense of morbid curiosity -- but I have found this.

And also this, which is, as the kids say these days, for the win.

--Oh! And that reminds me that I was reading over a book from my childhood and found this short rime:

Speak Roughly to Sir Lancelot
And Beat Him with a Briar
And Kick Him in the Pants a lot:
Of This We'll Never Tire.
We'll Put Him in a Dungeon Cell
And There We'll Keep Him very Well.

Typist: Hm, where could that be from?

*innocence* I'm sure I don't know--!

That is indeed a work of staggering beauty.
