Here is the awful poem it created for me:
See, see the wonderful sky
Marvel at its big puce depths.
Tell me, Brad do you
Wonder why the pug ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel angry.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your fankish facial growth
That looks like
A cheese.
What's more, it knows
Your ploppy potting shed
Smells of pea.
Everything under the big wonderful sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm filths.
I am impressed.
But seriously, who was it who said that we only understand worthwhile poetry
by appreciating the bad? I can't remember now.
