an ugly ode to ugliness

[johnny nobody]

ugliness is in the eye of the beholder
what a fucking truthful statement that is
how awful to go through life
and see people cringing with disgust
as they pass you in the street
laughing at your fatness and horror

come on now everyone own up
you've done it haven't you
everyone has been somewhere and seen
a deformed person or a really fat slob
and bugger me oh how much
you wanted to stare closely
to see just how hideous they were
but your innate decency stopped you
so you waited till they'd hobbled past
and then you turned round to give them
a better examination and guess what
they turned round as well so
you felt embarrassed and ashamed
just like everyone else that sunny morning
it's better if they're blind
as you can stare all you like then

but how about if the white stick
is just an an elaborate practical joke
and they really know exactly how ghastly
their misshapen form really is
and they merely require your confirmation
of the horror of their appearance
so they can swallow a few extra pills
or neck down another bottle or two
to put themselves out of their misery

A great photo. Pity I can't say the same about the poem and still keep a straight face.

[Chintee]

Felt like I was reading a rant, not so much a poem. A passionate rant, nevertheless.

[Edna Sweetlove]

I too am fascinated by ugliness. Hence my liking for my fat neighbour Betty.

I always thought people were doing that because they fancied a piece. How deluded I was.

Suicide pact anyone?

Remember when John Prescott admitted he was bulimic? He obviously wasn't very good at doing it, was he?

[Sir Gennady Kangarov]

This poem very good. I, Gennady, have many ugly women had and it is not so much fun unless they wash good.

Hoots - up here in the land o' the heather and the kilt, one has tae be outstandingly ugly to be noticed. Also, people wha overindulge upon the pies and deep fried Mars Bars, tend to be captured and fed intae the haggis-making machine on St Andrew's Day. And since that day is coming up quite soon, I masel' will be ganging on a wee diet o' weak porridge just tae be on the safe side.

This is disgusting. Why must people abuse the rights which our brave soldiers fought for in 2 world wars? Do you think limbless veterans march past the senotaph so you can write this sort of stuff? Gow up and be decent. Thankyou. Stanley.

[Count Orlok]

Ugliness is no bar to me. The blood I suck out of their dying bodies tastes just as nice. However, I tend not to sodomise the corpse of the ugly ones.

A messidge to Sir Stanley - pleese lern how to spel cenotaph!
A messidge to the ortha of this banal peece - pleese try to rite rime ; a 10 yr old child, a chimpanzee, or even George Bush is kapabel of riting lyke this!
