If there was any chance of my watching The View, it's just gone to hell

Further: In the writings of Douglas Adams, there is made mention of The Worst Poet In The Universe.

The name of this character was changed to Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings after complaints by Paul Neil Milne Johnson, an ex-schoolfriend of Douglas Adams. [Who said of him:] "He used to write appaling stuff about dead swans in stagnant pools."


...as quoted in Don't Panic by Neil Gaiman.

We now have a challenger for her/his title. Rosie O'Donnell, who will shortly be joining The View, has penned an ode to her good fortune. A warning: It's probably best not to have eaten for a couple of hours before you follow that link, or to be planning to eat for a couple of hours after.

Come to think of it, this could be a smashing dietary aid.

Um, Ben, have you read Rosie's blog? That's not a poem, it's how she writes on her blog. Whoever sent it to ohnotheydidn't just basically lifted one of her blog entries. She doesn't claim to be a poet at all. Her stuff is very stream-of-consciousness in general.

That does not make it any better.
