Pathetic Poems Parody of Wondrous Poems

Pathetic poems are parodies
Chopped and severed from mad trees
Which escape from limb and trunk
Then appear in books as junk
Transplanted in the minds they've fried
Transplanted till their poets have died
Echo in "ruinic" rhyme
That degrade through passing time
Written down as so much clutter
They find their way into the gutter
How hilarious these poems can be
Poems also known as parody

                                       




ruinic - a fictitious word derived from runic as obscure and ruin as degraded
          - a degraded and obscure rhyme
