No names, no pack-drill...oh yes!
Thankyou Uilleam. A peek at what it might have contained would have revealed one or two odious bastards from the top table of American politics. (You get the idea).

Sadly, I’ve not had the opportunity to read your poem, John, therefore I’m unable to speak in your defence.
I can only suggest that maybe it was not your lack of literary prowess which was actually the problem, rather, the / an opinion / message contained in your post?
May I suggest that the WOL membership be given the opportunity to read your contribution and to decide for themselves whether or not it constitutes poetry?
One last thing; for what it’s worth, here’s my list of TOP 10 INGLORIOUS BARSTEWARDS: ...........qwertyuiop,
(runners up)..................................................asdfghjkl;
(last but not least)......................................zxcvbnm,./
(but not necessarily in the right order!)
It's poetry, but it's in code.
😡
I have withdrawn this piece on the advice of the moderator that it was not poetry.
I dispute that.
Not only did it end on a rhyming couplet in iambic tetrameter but the very title “Odious Bastards” is pure poetry. it couples two words, a dactyl and a. Spondee in succinct and evocative rhythm.
Readers are invited to “go a penny blind” and make their own suggestions as to who should be on the list.

Perhaps you could rename your post 'Top of the Poops'.
