It Will Be Hard For Me To Give An "F" Again

A White Bear introduces us to the writing-related program activities of the early 20th Century novelist and poet Amanda McKittrick Ros, who indeed is plausibly described as the best worst writer ever. This tribute to a dearly departed lawyer is indeed quite remarkable:

Beneath me here in stinking clumps
Lies Lawyer Largebones, all in lumps;
A rotten mass of clockholed clay,
Which grown more honeycombed each day.
See how the rats have scratched his face?
Now so unlike the human race;
I very much regret I can’t
Assist them in their eager ‘bent.’

But, if anything, I prefer “On Visiting Westminster Abbey.” Sounds like it might be a touch less morbid if even more florid, right?

Holy Moses! Have a look!
Flesh decayed in every nook!
Some rare bits of brain lie here,
Mortal loads of beef and beer,
Some of whom are turned to dust,
Every one bids lost to lust;
Royal flesh so tinged with ‘blue’
Undergoes the same as you.

Now that’s bad writing to savor; it makes the awful prose stylists of the blogosphere harder to truly appreciate.
