With Dave unable to make the recording do to work, Mitch and Aaron soldier on through some... really bad poems. Whether or not they were trying to emulate gasoline infused roses or a manure covered country side one could say these poems stick. Mitch has nobly dug deep into the archives of his past collections to find what perhaps should have remained well hid.

Aaron and Dave speed through what may be the pinnacle of Aaron's piney private "poetry", that or it's darkest valley (they landed on the latter). From a late lunch to an early out, this time crunched episode really makes you wonder what they talk about when the episode tapings run long. My Bad Poetry Episode 2.13: "Friend" End "Poem" from "Real" Poets: "It's Gonna be Me" by Andreas Mikael Carlsson, Martin Max, and Rami Yacoub... also Dave's honorary mention "Friend is a Four Letter Word" by John McCrea (which was equally as good of a suggestion).
