I've seen several now, I understand some will like them but I just feel it's all a bit OTT!
Here is the latest one I've seen...

I mean, they're not for me but I'm not the only person in the world. Different strokes for different folks and all that. There's been loads of them posted all over SM, but I just skip past them.

Also why is Paddington Bear featuring so heavily? He seems to have taken the job of grim reaper

Surely this concept should be adapted for Paddington 3?? Maybe Al Pacino could co star?

Poetry is my favourite thing in the world. Bad poetry enrages me.

The only person who should be writing and publishing a poem about the Queen is Simon Armitage.

Couldn't agree more

I am surprised that none has surfaced yet telling us that Queenie is off with the Angles.

Trigonometry was never the Queen's strong point.

She would have hated them. Especially the original one where her dead husband taps her on the shoulder

@HeadacheEarthquake

I didn't think it could get any worse. But this tops it

turningpurpleygreen · 11/09/2022 15:56

What im seeing on social media is people going about their normal lives

It's mainly the media pushing and pushing the grief agenda

Spotted in a local buy and sell group this morning

Just awful
At least they said Angel and not the awful Angle I see so often

If you find them too much. Why post one on here.

Quite. Almost all amateur poetry is completely dire anyway

IdiotSandwich05 · 11/09/2022 17:26

Yes, I find them incredibly twee and cringe.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 11/09/2022 17:28

Unbelievably twee, aren't they?

SE4mumofboys · 11/09/2022 20:55

This has tipped me over the edge

They are all fucking awful.

And someone wants to have a close look at that psycho bear turning up and leading her and her flying corgi into the great hereafter. Just wtf was in the bloody sandwich, eh? Marmalade my arse.

RaininSummer · 11/09/2022 21:01

The ones I have seen have been so badly written that they were upsetting.

waterlego · 11/09/2022 21:03

@SE4mumofboys That is utterly horrendous 😂

That has to be a joke. 🤣🤣🤣

GuyMontag · 11/09/2022 21:09

@SE4mumofboys what the actual fuck even is that? It's just fucking rambling.

whumpthereitis · 11/09/2022 21:24

Paddington getting exposed all over social media.

"My children have done me proud
Every single day"

...ALL of them?

...every day?

Laiste · 11/09/2022 21:34

Grim Reaper Paddington is bloody hilarious 😂

worriedatthistime · 11/09/2022 21:39

Don't like them don't reAd them its really that simple

worriedatthistime · 11/09/2022 21:41

Anyone who uses the word twee cannot complain about anything

worriedatthistime · 11/09/2022 21:44

There is some real miserable around, if you don't like something don't read it
If you don't like the paddington references scroll by
But no instead sit there criticising others and trying to make out your better by picking up spelling mistakes
Why can't people just be nice
