What’s worse than having to deal with poorly written and badly documented code? Potentially, Vogon poetry.

If you’re not familiar with Vogon poetry, it features in Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhikers’ Guide To The Galaxy as the third-worst poetry in the universe. Here’s a sample:
Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes,
And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts
With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don’t!
You can generate your own with this BBC site. But don’t make your colleagues suffer Vogon poetry. Do your job well.
