The Worst Poem Ever?

"A Tragedy"

Death!
Plop.
The barges down in the river flop.
Flop, plop.
...

I can dare, I can dare!
And let myself all run away with my head,
And stop.
Drop
Dead.
Plop, flop.
Plop.


Christopher Rouse resurrects the career of Victorian eccentric Theo Marzials, author of the above, reputedly "the worst poem ever written".
