There is definitely great pleasure to be got from reading truly awful poetry and here is another master of the genre.  The poet Adam Lindsay Gordon lived from 1833 until 1870 and gave the world some unique poetry during that time.   One of his more memorable poems was entitled “The travails of war”. Here are four lines from the work which will , hopefully, put a smile on your face:

                        “Flash ! flash ! bang ! bang ! and we blazed away

                        And the grey roof reddened and rang

                        Flash ! flash ! and I felt his bullet flay

                        The tip of my ear, flash ! bang !”

These lines, and several other treasures are to be found in Stephen Piles wonderful work, THE BOOK OF HEROIC FAILURES which is warmly recommended. It is published by Futura books.
