Humorous Hate Poems

A series of funny poems which take a generally misanthropic view of contemporary life and some well aimed swipes at, amongst others, modern art, technology and children. I anticipate the last of these will provoke a stream of emails which are vituperative and vacuous in equal measure. It will make a pleasant change from all the emails accusing the site of being anti-american.

Art Buyers

A poem about the type of people who buy art to match their decor and their wallet. As for taste, you really shouldn't ask.

Starter for Ten

Who, what, where and why are the pivotal questions asked by this light, but slightly nonsensical poem.

Why?

A companion piece to to Starter for Ten, the poems Why? contains the arresting line And isn’t it incest if all men are brothers? Discuss.

Too Many People

Max's poem will strike a chord with misanthropes living in our overcrowded towns and cities.

Tofu

It’s nutritious and healthy but totally bland sums up Max's feelings about this super food, but tofu does have multitudinous other uses.

Why, God, Why?

The poem offers an oblique and rather lighter take on the If God is omnipotent, why does he allow plague and pestilence? argument.

The Ballad of Ben & Jerry

A funny, near nonsense poem about the Ben & Jerry ice cream empire and it's propensity to create increasingly outrageous flavour combinations.

The Awful Story of Peedie Angus and the Soup Bowl

A narrative poem with a fairy tale quality about the eponymous Peedie Angus, the sort of ghastly child you wouldn't wish upon your worst enemy.
